Ways to relax Grant
Our occupational therapist is teaching me several ways to relax Grant. We've been doing infant massage twice a day and he seems to calm down a bit during that. But, today she discovered something that worked really well to calm Grant down- a weighted blanket. When the weighted blanket is placed on Grant from the chest down his behavior totally changes and he instantly relaxes. Thank you to those who have offered to make a weighted blanket for us. I know it will be a blessing to Grant!

I'm sure someone would be willing to make one for him, but just in case you are feeling ambitious here are some sites that suggest ways to make a weighted blanket.

Shannon,
I know two women who are more than capable and one of them lives in the area. I can call her for you or give you her number or both.
Love,
Kimberly
I am so happy to see he's doing better! We miss you! Love, Sean & Andi
Tracy Nadeau sent this link along and I would be willing to make a blanket. It would not take long at all. I actually may have one that you could use right now. Let me know if I can help.
