Just us. No big brothers.
We started aquatic therapy and I must say in Hannah's case it was a win-win.
First of all the pool was a comfy 92 degrees, so basically a giant bathtub. We did it on Tuesday when big brother had other plans, so Hannah was well rested and to her it just felt like play time.
She got to splash, float on her back, ride in a boat, all the while exercising and strengthening those trunk muscles.
Her sitting is improving. She is starting to catch herself better and her left hand is opening and grabbing at toys more frequently and with more purpose.
I wish we could continue this every week, but unfortunately this PT is also a professor and cannot do it during the school year, but maybe next summer when we are working on walking?
All in due time.
We are thankful for all the therapists and doctors who truly care for Hannah and our family. It's so refreshing as a Mama to have someone else love on and route for your child who isn't family. They push her, they make her cry but all the while she is learning and we are seeing progress.
Today we also had beginning convos about cochlear implants with her audiologist. (I'll write a whole other post on that later), but it's just one more example of a doctor who wants the best and isn't afraid to be aggressive with treatment for a favorable outcome.
"The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives."
Psalm 37:23
