Our Visit to the Institutes Today was a long day but very informative. We arrived at 9am this morning with Tatum and met with several members of their team. We reviewed Tatum's medical history and my medical history during my pregnancy with Tatum. We also formalized Tatum's functional diagnosis and discussed how Tatum's brain injury is thought to have happened. Finally we reviewed Tatum's progress since starting the intensive program on July 2nd 2012. Tatum's progress is remarkable!!! In 2.8 months of programming, Tatum has grown 2.9 months. This is a growth rate of 106%. Tatum's growth rate is currently 215% faster than her growth rate before starting the program. When we first visited the Institutes in June, Tatum's chronological age was 13 months. We determined that her neurological age was 6.41 months at that point. Today, Tatum is 16 months old and her neurological age is 9.39 months. Our goal is to continue working with Tatum and the Institutes program until her chronological age and neurological meet up! This little girl is capable of everything and anything. Way to go Tatum!!!
