Our First Month

Within our first week home, we continued taking Jackson to therapy that was started in the hospital. In his second week home, we went to our first peditrician appointment and to see the pediatric orthopedic in Baton Rouge. We had a bad experience with him and decided that we wanted to see someone else. It's a long story, but the straw that broke the camel's back was when he told me and Jonathan "The only way to fix these children is with surgery". First of all he is not broken and secondly he is our child. So...we called our peditrician and asked for a referral to the same orthopedic who did my back surgery at Children's Hospital in New Orleans.

We set up an appointment and saw Dr. King, who referred us to Dr. Accousti for Jackson lower extremities and Dr. Faust for the upper extremeties. We continued our therapy regiment twice a month to physical therapy (PT) and twice a month to occupational therapy (OT) and continious therapy at home. And in one month Jackson had improved beyond all our expectations.
