I made her grab for toys, put things on the opposite side to see if she saw them and a few more tricks and everything seems normal. She didn't really fuss until about an hour in and I think that was a combo of the still-present witching hour and her just wanting it off her eye.
Thanks for praying for our girl so consistently. She has 1 more month of her anti-viral medicine and I am ready for it to be over.
She takes it no problem, but I do think it makes her a little hyper, especially at night. So, I'm hoping her sleep improves when she goes off the medicine.
We have seen lots of improvement during PT the last 2 weeks. She is gaining core strength and is almost able to sit unassisted. Right now she can sit for a few seconds and then usually face plants.
Her left hand is working a little better too. Her hand is still fisted (loosely) most of the time, but if I help her she will open her hand and play with toys. This is a huge improvement!
The professionals say it's hard for her to lift her arm, open her hand and play with the toy all at the same time. I guess you could say it's a brain-thing. So, by us helping her we are training her brain to do these things at the same time. Isn't that pretty amazing?? I guess it's like anything else we learn, or teach our brain to do, but in Hannah's case it doesn't come naturally.
Her right side seems to be completely normal. She grabs everything in sight with that hand!
Hannah is such a fun-loving little girl. She is definitely my smiley child. She is living up to her middle name--Joy. I pray that she will exude joy wherever she goes.
"You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of JOY; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever."
Psalm 16:11
