Get up, Stand Up...

Howdy folks! Time for another update. Zane still continues to fight on. We haven't made the switch to the well-care plan, but the bits and pieces are coming together and it should happen by the end of the month. With that, Zane will get Physical Therapy, Occupation Therapy, quarterly MRIs and more labs/tests that he doesn't qualify for now.

So, we have been doing it on our own. Friend "J-Dawg" comes round and does acupuncture sessions on Zane. But he's also a trained Physical Therapist, so yesterday, we challenged Zane to a sit and then a stand. Zane amazes me. He held his head up really well on his own, so the sitting part went pretty well. I sat behind him, so he could lean on me. The standing part was a bit more of a challenge as he didn't lock his legs, so it was all on us to keep him up. So, that wasn't a long stand...maybe 15 seconds. He didn't love that, so we got him back in bed. Think about it, The last time Zane was upright was the morning of May 12th. Wow.

But let me tell ya, he was moving all around after that exercise. Super engaged and it fired us up to sit him up more. Zaner's got this! #MakeZaneBetter
