WE are combining a couple of videos that we have taken over the last two weeks to show you Nathanael's great progress in his development. We are really happy to see how he has been improving and we just wanna Thank GOD so much for His favor over Nathanael's life. So you will be able to watch Nathanael achieve new Milestones in the video below as he goes thru the various exercises!! :) You will see below that Zoe Joy gets involved in Nathanael's therapy, and we honestly believe that she will totally, 100% gain from it and develop even faster as a toddler who by the way has yet to turn 1! She gets to play (while ko ko exercise) during all of ko ko's therapy! :) Zoe Joy wants everything that Ko Ko has. Yes even his Swing!! So While Ko Ko is exercising to stand, Zoe Joy is sitting happily on the other end!! Oh yeah .. that's their aerobic tights work out!! NOT! After a work out.. what better way then to go for a Swim! :) Nathanael Using the Walker as he makes progress...

So we are looking for a WALKER for Nathanael. We must say that Nathanael is improving so much in the last couple of weeks. You can now support Nathanael at his underarms and you will see him progressing in little steps ... as he walks in front!! WE are ESTACTIC! Really Thank God for the good progress in his development! We are trying to put a couple of videos together and share it with you (hopefully in the next one or two posts!) Having said that at both HUKM Physio Therapy Room and also at Bridges Early Internvention Programme School, he's been going on the Walker that they have available. And the walker is really helping him to make his walking steps more solid and firm! A BRAND new walker would cost over RM1500! And we are looking for any second hand walkers that any of you readers may know or have... and if you are gonna sell it.. please let us know! The Walker Looks like This It has an adjustable height that will help Nathaanel stand upright and hold on to the bars to wal...

Just last Thursday Nathanael went for his weekly physio therapy at HUKM. He was put on two new exercise and therapy "equipments" to help in his balance. Nathanael started off with the Walker to help him to put strength in his legs so that he can learn to walk! We're really glad that HUKM has great equipments and it can be adjusted to fit different heights easily. Next, Nathanael was put onto the Swinging Equipment. You know how each time you sit on a swing, you need to balance yourself to keep above the swing! :) Yeah ... so that's what Nathanael was taught to do. We are glad to see him gripping the rope so tightly, cos it shows that he knows that in order to balance he needs to hold on to something stable. :) Haha ... see Cute Nathanael. He tries to give you the "frown" look. He's been doing that a lot lately! :) This is a Rope Bridge, and we can see its shaky and totally unlevel. We're glad to see him learning to balance himself on it!! If yo...

When i go weekly to HUKM, one of my weekly exercises is to work on my "standing". Check it out See I am holding myself and supporting myself as i Stand up in HUKM. In HUKM the therapy centre has cool equipments that can adjust to my height. :) How's this for a Side Profile Shot? I think the bar is a bit way toooo high!! :) I am gonna walk and run soon!!! YAY!! By the Grace of God I'll be able to accomplish it! [tags : darentiff nathanael zoejoy ]

Nathanael's Physio & Occupational Therapy at HUKM The following photos shows a new learning curve for Nathanael as he learns to BALANCE himself on various Therapy Exercises The Red Curvy thing is a semi circle to help "rock" and create a moving sensation from right to left (side to side) Nathanael has not begun ... and is giving his million dollar smile :) Getting ready, he will sit and his therapist will slowly rock the RED semi-circle to create a movement to help Nathanael balance. Then after a bit of the Sitting, Nathanael is encouraged to STAND and to repeat the same movement, so that he will understand the various muscles that's required to keep balance! ** Actually God has created all of us so special, that we can stand, walk, jump dance and just move about without actually thinking about it. Many times not realizing that all the movements mentioned above, our brain and muscles are actually moving together in motion with the body to keep us balanced...

Nathanael's Therapy @ HUKM So mommie and kak mas brought me for my regular session at HUKM. They made me practise standing by the wall Doesn't it look like as if they are punishing me? I became clever. At times I would use my Bum and push myself off the wall. Guess what .... then i watch them scramble to catch me! He! He! I can be naughty!! Oooooh!! Phsycadelic!! Why do parents, make faces, make funny sounds, wave their hands funnily. And then they expect us kids to walk into their hands, As if their "actions" are not scarry enuf already!! PLUS here I am claustraphobicly trapped in front and behind by two adults. AWWWWWW..... that's too much. U are using FOOD. My weakness .. i love food! See now I have to start moving forward in this kaledoscopic tube!! YAY!!! I made it to the end!! U know what? They should just lift up one end of the COLOR tube and let me slide thru it. It will be so much faster .. hmmm ... why can't these Why can't these grown ups...

Amazing! God is Amazing! What God is doing in Nathanael is Amazing! We just wanna Bless God for another milestone achieved by Nathanael in his daliy progress. Nathanael was in HUKM for Physio Therpay yesterday. He was put to Stand in front a wooden frame, and you can see from the photos below that he was holding on to it, as he stood. This is a really good sign, as it shows how Nathanael is learning to stand on his own, and to support his own self. Nathanael holding on to the Wooden Frame to support himself. Here's a Video put together showing how Nathanael stood during his Physio Therapy. Watch the Video below, or click Here [tags : darentiff nathanael ]

Yet Another Milestone We Thank GOD for Nathanael's imrpovement which we see week on week. Last Thursday when Nathanael was at HUKM for his Physio Therapy, His therapist (Yoke Fong) mentioned that Nathanael's Standing has improved. Yoke Fong said that Nathanael is willing to bear weight on his knees, and therefore do not need to use the gators ( which we recently bought ) And when Nathanael stood .... Look Mom ... No Hands!!! No one needs to hold me :) One of Nathanael's new exercise that we need to work on is to STAND UP from a Sitting Position. This was the exercise, Nathanael has to stretch out his hands (tough) and hold on to the bar, and then we will have to hold on to his hips and lift him up to a Standing Position. By doing this daily, this will help improve Nathanael's ability to use his Hip Muscles to help him STAND. Nathanael is in Snozelen with all the Fibre Optics on him. His Occupational Therapist was trying to get Nathanael to respond to the lights (which ...

Nathanael learns to Cycle at HUKM Physio Therapy Since Mommie is still in confinement--Popo & Emily Piu Yee brought Nathanael for Physio and Occupational Therapy at HUKM today. One of the first exercises that they put Nathanael on was to Stand Up whilst wearing his splints. He's been improving week after week and the Therapists have been commenting on that. Today they tried something new for Nathanael. They put him on a Gym-Cycle To encourage his legs to move in a circular fashion, and to teach him the motion of cycling. Pushing his legs to press on the pedals. You can see many many hands helping Nathanael where they position him to sit and to get his legs moving in the Cycling Fashion. The therapist mentioned that Nathanael's Left Leg is good, as it goes around in the Cycling motion. But his Right Leg (which is the stronger one) is a bit stiff. So we need to pray and continue to work on his Right Leg. Can't wait to get him is own Bicycle :) [tags : darentiff nathanae...

Nathanael's Physio and Occupational Therapies We managed to capture some brilliant photos of Nathanael during both his Physio Therapy session and Occupational Therapy session. This morning I started my Physio Therapy session at HUKM at 9am. I was put on a see-saw thing, whilst sitting down on a wooden bench. My therapist wanted to see how well I balance when they move the see saw up and down. I did quite well lor! Then my therapist made me stand. I shocked everyone when i manage to stand without my gators. I was holding on to the Blue Exercise Ball. My therapist said my Right Leg is much stronger. Today my therapist put me on a special walker. I was like so surprise. My feet can touch the floor; as if i was walking. But i was supported and it really made it easy. The therapist pushed the Walker forward and used his legs to guide my legs to move forward step by step. It was really like Walking. :) My Occupational Therapy started at 11am. My therapist took me to Snozelen. Check ou...
