I wanted to post some video of Brooklyn on the Whole Body Vibration platform. We LOVE this thing! She stands on it and the vibration helps strengthen her muscles. Charlie and I have also used it and it does work your muscles! It is hard to believe just standing on the platform would work her muscles, but it does! We have started her out slowly; just a few minutes a day on the very lowest setting. She seems to like it! We look forward to seeing how this might help her strength. Thank you again Jerry Wilson and Soloflex for this AMAZING gift!

I just realized I have not posted about our WBV platform that is on its way! The Whole Body platform has been listed on our "wish list" since around June. I attended a great session at the Rett Syndrome Conference that talked about various therapeutic interventions for our girls and the physical therapist who was presenting mentioned the platform. It can be used to help strengthen our girls muscles and increase balance among other things.
Right before Christmas I received a comment from Jerry Wilson saying that he was going to send us one! I thought it was a joke - you see Mr. Wilson is the founder and President of Soloflex...what in the world - was he really reading my blog? Yep! We have since had emails back and forth - he has told me of the benefit that kiddos with CP have had using the WBV platform. I can't wait for it to come - I promise there will be pictures once we receive this amazing gift!
If you are reading this Jerry - THANK YOU!!! (and thank you Lois in NYC!)
