Month Two Update from the Institutes

I spoke with our new advocate from the Institutes today. She is a lovely Japanese woman named Rumiko Doman. She had reviewed our program notes, Tatum's detailed physiological report which included all progress and challenges she has had in the past month as well as a detailed description of what she's been eating. By all accounts we are doing a fantastic job and we should be proud of ourselves and Tatum's progress.

We sent videos to Rumiko of Tatum being patterned, doing her masking, going down the incline, doing her balance exercises, reading and holding her dowel. She was pleased to see Tatum's increased strength and coordination in her upper body. She also marvelled at how happy and healthy our baby girl appears to be! In Rumiko's opinion, we are on track to reach the goals that have been set out for us by April/May! I'm going to trust the expert and look forward to Tatum moving independently on a flat surface by early summer! Yay Tatum!!!
