Physical Therapy

When we met with the speech therapist she noticed Bella being physically unstable and out of balance so she recommended that we get a PT evaluation done. During her evaluation I thought we were going to here the same thing that we heard during her speech evaluation that everything was fine, she was just a little delayed, but catching up nicely. That was not the case. The therapist had many things that she was concerned about and after scoring Bella's diagnostic test found her to be at the level of a 16-18 month old. So we are going going to therapy once a week and getting some orthodic braces to correct her flat footedness and the turning in of her feet which should turn her knees out to their correct position. A lot of the exercises the therapist is having us do at home can be done on the playground so we are going almost every night much to Bella's delight. We are also making tunnels out of boxes for her to crawl through and what kid doesn't like to play in boxes?! :) Bella absolutely loves therapy! I'm going to have to get creative in finding a way to get her to leave without pitching a fit. She doesn't want to leave when it is time to go. I'm taking that as a good sign.
