Haleigh had her first PT appointment yesterday and it was great. The therapist is wonderful and worked really well with Haleigh. She wasn't afraid of her at all. It seems like when she was in infants and toddlers they were afraid of breaking her. She did more in a 45 min session yesterday than she has done in a year of infants and toddlers. Her therapist Jenny said she is on the road to walking but her leg and ankle strength is low. She uses all upper body when she pulls to a standing position. They are going to teach her to use her lower body and they also gave us some exercises to do with her to help. We are going to see her every Tuesday, so hopefully a more regular schedule will help as well.
She will continue with Infants and Toddlers, but they will work more on her fine motor skills instead of physical therapy.
Hopefully we can have a walker by her 2nd birthday!!
