PBMT - Day 159

Adrian had his 2nd session of ST training at Caritas this morning. It didn't run very smoothly as Adrian was too shy to perform the tasks. First, he refused ANYONE to touch his face while the therapist was demonstrating how to massage his face to strengthen his face/mouth muscles. Second, he didn't want us to put a toothbrush like sponge into his mouth for the purpose of massaging his gum/teeth. Overall, Adrian didn't cooperate at all and let's hope he'll be more comfortable when Mama did it with him at home. The priority now is to increase Adrian's sensation in his mouth, build up his mouth muscles as this will help in both chewing and talking tremendously.
