Blue Eyes has been a busy girl lately: Playdate, doctor's appointments, therapy sessions, evaluations. The doctor's appointment paid off big time, and we now have a happy baby a lot more during the day. Today was BE's evaluation with a physical therapist and an occupational therapist. She qualified for services. She needs to work on exploring her environment, reaching and manipulating things, as well as working on losening up the shoulder muscles so she can bring her arms forward. It's kind of a domino effect because the acid reflux caused BE to arch her back. Then that became her comfortable position. Because that was her comfortable position, she didn't keep her hands and arms forward which kept her from grabbing and manipulating the things in front of her. Yep, all from the acid reflux.
The OT and PT said she has good muscle tone, and is smart and social. They believe that within 6 months, she will meet the developmental goals appropriate for her age. Some goals are to get her to cruise around the house and be able to feed herself. Seeing the little one she is now, I will be amazed to see her in this process.
