Day 2

Well, Grace had a great time at therapy on Thursday. She loves the 'stickers' medical tape to help her with sensory/tactile stuff. She is doing better on the balance beam. She is still holding Tracey's hand but not Annie and Tracey and she is walking heels down on it more consistently too.

On Friday, Grace started saying look Mommie, I am good I am walking on my heels. Wow, that shocked me at first. Yes, of course I thought did she think that she wasn't good because she thought that was my perception. But I knew it wasn't and it was that I and others have been saying, 'heels down'. It was encouraging and making me doubt on her hiccups. This is what is so upsetting about this brain imbalance or deficiency. One minute you have no doubt that interventive means need to happen and then the next minute, she seems absolutely fine. However, upon reflection I know that there are more hiccups and the underlying issues of gait, balance and core cognitive functioning are present and need assistance.

Grace started working with the metronome today. She needed assistance from Tracy on hearing the clap and the five minutes was a bit too long for her according to Tracy.

Grace is in the minority for her age with this therapy. Most of the patients are 8 and up. The parents have been through years and years of different diagnoses, prescriptions and therapies. So it is exciting to get Grace started early while her heart is still innocent and her brain is even more maliable.

Thank you Lord, for this life we lead please continue to open our eyes and ears to hear Your way!
