The splint Josiah has on his hand is one he has had for over a year. He has refused to wear it, and therapists had suggested to put it on him while sleeping. My response – I’m not messing with his sleep-because there’s not much of it! 🙂 Every time I would put it on him, especially in recent weeks, he would cry and complain “it hurting.” I couldn’t keep it on him. That, and he’d take it off himself…
After Botox, Josiah hadn’t received his new hand splint we had ordered, so I figured I’d try this one again. I put it on him while he watched a video, and he kept it on, even when he wasn’t watching tv anymore!
Now that’s progress! Seemingly such a little thing, but I know it’s such a BIG thing! Hooray!
Thanks Angie for all your encouragement!
