Molly!!

Every Tuesday AM, (@ 8 am I might add!!!) we have at apt w/ Molly (or Pespsi or Tiger...but Caleb always hopes for Molly). Its Caleb's new PT he's been doing for about 2-3 months now. First steps, Indiana's early intervention program that he became part of when he was a baby, came out for his yearly eval in March and thought he'd benefit from PT again, to work on balance, coordination etc... His old (and favorite, although the new one is becoming a close 2nd quickly) PT came out to the house, but there wasn't much need for PT in the home setting, he's doing great and balance and coordination just come w/ time..... well then we found out about hippo therapy. Its essentially riding a horse frontwards - backwards -sideways and even sometimes standing, all w/o a saddle, to build core muscles. So every Tuesday we pack up the care at 7AM!!! and head to the other side of town. Caleb spends about 20-30 min doing traditional PT then 20-30 min riding a horse. In talking to his PT last week-- it looks like he may be discharged soon, which means I will likely be searching for a place willing to give a 2 or 3 yr old horse back riding lessons, because Caleb loves it!!!
