Physical Therapy

Yesterday we had Physical Therapy, it has been since the first of December since we have been able to meet with the therapist. The therapist brought along with her a student.
Things seemed a little more stressful as usual at this appointment, I am unsure if it was because there was a student there learning from the PT or what.
It started off by what has Ella accomplished since the first of December. Well its hard to be put on the spot especially when you have a 2 year old trying to steal the show.  But I tried to remember the best I could.... Ella has achieved the following......


1- Rolling on both directions from back to tummy, from tummy to back.
2- Batting, holding, shaking and pushing buttons on toys.
3- Takes her takes her socks off and plays with them.
4- Will hold weight when standing briefly.
5- Will pick up Binky play with it and place Binky in mouth.
6- 01/30/13 started to tuck knees under tummy in PT appointment.

To get Ella started in sitting up we are going to have her sitting in a high chair with towels on each side of her legs and let her play with her toys. We will also work on more tummy time to build her up to crawling.

I really had a hard time at this appointment, its always hard to hear that your child isn't up to speed and that she/WE need to try harder. So my cure for trying to shake it have a session of crying and then smile! Because all I can do is help Ella learn and be there for her.

No matter what is said to us I know with all my heart that Ella is doing the best she can, and that's all anyone can expect.
