Appointment on 7 April 2009

We are getting Alfred custom shape seating today. We can’t wait to see how does it look like and how does it help Alfred in getting his kyphosis better. Finally, when we get the seat and this is how it look like...

I took this custom shape seat at home because we didn't capture a good picture when we at the clinic.

We stay up at the clinic nearly for 4 hours. Doc would like to test Alfred on the seating condition every 20 minutes to see whether Alfred skin is hurts. The seat will give pressure on his spine exactly on the curve spine and it will also affect his skin. Alfred will stay on the seat every 20 minutes and rested an hour before the next seat applied so it won’t hurt it skin for one month. After his skin tissue get use with the seat, then he will be seated for an hour till its see improvement on his spine. We were lucky because Alfred did not resist on that seat. Yet, Alfred still resist being touch by doctor. He cried so hard whenever the doctor tried to adjust the seat. He called out "papa" and crying all the time. But "papa" is not working, he called out "jiejie" (my husband sister). He called their name for help, shaking his head and waving out his hands so that I could hug him out. He cried almost for 5 minutes and finally I hug him up.

Hang around the hospital for 1 hours to test on the seat

Result from the chair

The redness will be reduce when we take him away and giving his skin a rest every 20 minutes of seating. We tried as often as we could so that the skin will adjust to the seating condition. After 1 month, we have to return to the clinic for follow up. Then, the time seating on the seat will be increase.

Inside the seat, there is a foam which give concentrating on the curve of the spine.

When we on the way back to PJ home...

Oh!! What a day!!

We went out for dinner on the same day before we send almost back to to our hometown. We had planned to bring Alfred for Japanese food. When we were in the Japanese restaurant, my hungry Alfred demanded food from the next table. He shouting at the couple and the couple thinks he just cute shouting. They did not know that Alfred actually pointing at their food. Oh gosh!! We know that we are late for dinner and my little Alfred was starving. That’s a bad daddy and mummy. Quickly we order our meal and luckily our meal came fast. He loved the eel rice set that I ordered for him. He even demanded that he want to eat by his owned. Of course, I'm only giving him fruit by his own. Well, my little boy had grown up now.
