Brush the baby

Today was Spencer's first day of brushing therapy. We're hoping it helps him a bit with his sensory intergration disorder. He pretty much cried through it all today, but his OT remains pretty optimistic that it will help him. We have to brush his back, arms, and legs, and do compressions on the joints every two hours. So now we are trying to do feeds every three hours, brushing every two, incorporating different tactiles, and trying to get him to eat orally. Since Jimmy and I are on opposite schedules, we are both trying to tackle it alone. It's going to be a rough few weeks, but hopefully it will help. We are going to work on hands and such later on.
