On thursday she had her three therapies again....
In speech therapy she blew the whistle again. Then she had a listening exercise. The therapist would have her write her name in the middle of the page, write the date on the left hand corner of the pg, and write the numbers 1-10 on the bottom left hand side of the page. These were just exercises to ensure she can follow directions.
In physical therapy she started walking. Since she has been dragging her feet while walking, they put her to do heel and toe exercises while holding onto the bar and walking to the side by crossing her legs.
In occupational therapy she played patty-cake against the table. She also had to stack cards using her left hand and then flip them over. The therapist then bounced a ball and then Jessy had to bounce the ball back at her. She also wrote a journal about what she does in therapy. This will allow Jessy to know that she doesn't have to include every detail, but she can later go back in that journal and see what she did that day in therapy.
Today Jessy went in the pool for the first time since her surgery. She was so excited and just couldn't hide it!!! :) She went straight to practicing how to swim with her "Tio Lovey Dovey," who also encouraged her to do underwater exercises. She practiced moving her legs under water and did a great job at swimming. I'll be posting a video up soon.
Remember we will be having a garage sale on Saturday, August 28, 2010 from 8am-3pm at the Winston Park Clubhouse!! Please stop by, all proceeds are for Jessy's Fix My Booboo Fund..
