So Emma had her first true physical therapy yesterday. According to her report card, she did the tilting board one time, the ball 3 times, walked 3 times, and did the underwater treadmil 3 times. All that in addition to her accupunture. She is bouncing back very nicely and I am super happy with her progress. She was really tired when I got her home last night, but when I put her down in the yard she was ready to go! I decided to try an experiment, and see if she could walk around without help from her sling.
Well, as it turns out, she did great! She walked around, went potty, ran a little, and fell a few times. She is much happier when I am not trying to help her. Emma obviously has her own plans when outside, and it does not include mom holding her back with a sling! She even played with the Curly Bug last night, though she couldn't quite keep up with him, which I'm sure he loved. I will continue to let her outside while I stand in the yard and make sure she doesn't get herself into trouble, but I'd say she is on her way to recovery!
