Well we're home! And what an amazing AMAZING place it is! 2 days with a physio and OT who's attention is solely focussed on Matthew.
Most of the exercises and things they were saying is exactly like his NHS physio is doing, which is nice, as it means everyone is in the same place. I've got loads of tips on how to work things at home and how to fit it into the daily routine.
We learnt that Matthew can actually do more than we thought - just little things I never realised he was capable of, and that just holding him in a slightly different way enables him to do them - he can lift his foot up onto a step for one thing!
Also found out he has issues I didn't realise, they believe he has a sensory disorder which I'm so ashamed of never realising - but it explains so much about the random hysterical screaming amongst other things.
Looking forward to showing his dvd to physio and school teachers!

Raising the awareness of encephalitis, one baby step at a time.....

That's lovely news.....I thought you would love it! You have to go to realise how fab the place and staff are. Don't worry that's were they picked up my little girls sensory issues, I just thought it was the autism until they said!!!!

Oh hun sounds fab! You guys really give Matty your all so don't be worried you missed something. Sometimes it takes an outside view to spot these things! Now you k ow its just something else to work on and move forward with. Is it the sort of place you go back to? Like annually or something? Xxx

we go again in 6 months time for a review and to update the program depending on how he's improved
