The only positive adult interaction he gets is when dad feels (forced) to watch him and Lunas therapists. I wonder if he knows what his mom looks like outside of a phone screen or forced tit feeding.
When Luna rides the Healy wave band into the sky Atlas is going to lose the cool aunties that come over and torture his half dead sister.
Is it just me or does the “physical therapist” seem a little bit aggressive on how she handles Luna lately? It just seems like she’s handling her a bit rough, just like when she used the lump on her head as a handle when she was pushing her on the walker a couple of weeks ago.
I think a little bit has been mentioned before that this woman is a quack and probably not certified, but what kind of a sick twisted fuck comes week after week to flop around a dying infant for cash? She has to know deep down this isn’t doing anything to help.
Same, same - I thought her head would just roll off and away like a basketball. I also agree on Robin's tone toward Atlas. It was like, "Yes, yes, you're so cute 'reading' your book, Atlas! Now look at SISSY WALKING!"
Also, that fucking necklace on Atlas makes me want to smack the fuck out of these idiots. Talk about a massive choking hazard! He could strangle himself, snap a bead off and swallow it, etc. She is unbelievable with this woo bullshit.

Today's vids made me wonder the same thing about the PT. Luna looked more like a rigored dead body today than she usually does:
Luna is deteriorating, at what point is the PT going to stop the "therapy" ?

It's pretty obvious she's phoning it in but she's too much of a greedy bitch to tell Robyn she's not going to this any more and too narcissistic/wrapped up in potato worship ideology to admit Luna isn't capable of any kind of improvement. The silence in the first couple of videos was very noticeable, this one has never been as chatty or screechy as the speech therapist but she's usually cooing some bullshit at Luna, but this time it took her a while to muster up the effort.

When Luna is sitting there with her head dangling forward on the ball and the lady starts like pinching at her neck to try to get her to lift it up. Ugh. I seriously thought “is she trying to trigger a seizure so her head will pop up?”

Her expression made me read the text as, “OH, GOD” while scrolling.
They’ll never stop PT. They’ll prop her corpse up and when her head stays still from rigor mortis, Robyn will shriek, “Good girl, Luna! You’re doing it!”

As fucking insane and disturbing as it is, she is actually certified (@GenociderSyo looked up and found her registration and everything) and Robin found her on Facebook. She works mobile through social media and has no office. I've never liked how she handled Luna, always seemed too rough, but now it's more blatant than ever. I wish she would stop this chiropractic and PT nonsense and get her a massage therapist experienced with special needs kids.

It also means that Atlas is in genuine pain from teething (just like all normal babies his age) and it isn't being relieved in any meaningful way. Poor little guy.

She probably knows Luna isn't getting much out of it. But in situations like this, everyone knows mom is the actual patient. Mom likes appointments with all these professionals, so she can have adult human contact. So everyone plays along, and considers it "respite" for the sake of the parent. It's a ridiculous waste of resources, but it's not hurting anyone.
Do we ever see Robyn taking the kids places? (Other than appointments, and walks in the neighbourhood.) As much as she likes carefully cultivated online asspats, I bet she HATES being stared at with Luna in public. She probably doesn't get out much.
Sometimes services will be funded creatively or left in place just to keep a family system functioning. Even if they're not exactly what's needed. Or just to keep a pair of eyes inside the house.
Yes, that's her shunt. Usually, the neurosurgeon tries really hard to make the incision follow the normal contour of hair growth, so that the scar is pretty much invisible unless you know that the person has a shunt and know what they look like. Cosmesis is important even for a life-saving surgery like placement of a VP shunt, especially since once a shunt is placed, it's usually not removed. The catheter tubing goes through the cranium (skull) and into the brain, so removal is risky. Here's a diagram.
Sometimes the valve and tubing is visible under the skin, especially in kids because they're smaller. Some shunt valves are "programmable", meaning the flow of CSF can be adjusted by a neurosurgeon transcutaneously using a magnetic device, which avoids a repeat surgery. The programmable valves are a little bigger and thus more visible under the skin. Pictures below the spoiler.
The flow rate can be changed by placing a special tool with a magnetic disc inside against the valve.

This is also why some people's shunts get all fucky after an MRI. It's kind of like in Futurama, where magnets fuck up Bender's inhibition unit and make him sing folk songs.
Here's a photo of a young Mozambican child with a shunt. Because the child is severely malnourished, the shunt valve has eroded overlying skin and the path of the tubing into the abdomen is visible, and it gives a good visual representation of the anatomy involved. I'm spoilering the photo because it's disturbing and sad, but it's not really gory or anything. Probably NSFW, though.
With Luna's ever evolving head shape, it was pretty much impossible for her surgeon to have any idea how to place the shunt so that the valve wouldn't end up protruding at some point. He also likely had limited options as far as where to place it because of Luna's neuroanatomy. Normally, a shunt is placed in the lateral ventricle and drains to the abdomen or the right atrium of the heart via a long tube. Since Luna doesn't have lateral ventricles, he probably just had to kind of stick it in the largest cyst and hope it worked. I'm guessing that the more her head grows, the thinner her skin is stretched over the shunt valve. If Robyn weren't a piece of shit I'd assume she was keeping an eye on Luna's skin to make sure it's not eroding in the area over the valve. Obviously, getting an infection in the shunt valve or tubing is Very Bad because it's a direct conduit to the brain. I'm sure the Healy is doing the trick, though.
Awesome explanation for that, thanks. I have a friend who has a wee lad with hydrocephalus (25 weeker) and his shunt blocked a couple weeks back and needed replaced. It's good to have an insight into exactly what that entails.
Though seeing the hell that both my friend and her son have been through the past weeks makes me hate Globyn even more for putting Luna through such a brutal surgery and recovery when it doesn't give her any quality of life.
So, uh, her head is permanently in "exploding melon" mode? Is the shunt doing anything? This is a sad case of parental medical neglect but I'm not sure what the options are for severely disabled kids in America. Seems like a dire situation even if you take the munchie mom out of it.

There's no munchieness going on here. The fact is that no doctor but the one she found would place a shunt because it wouldn't do much if anything. Luna's brain is mostly fluid-filled cysts. Check out the OP lots of this is explained in more detail.
