My baby girl missed her Monday OT session this week and she was all over the place. I can tell a big difference with her behavior.
My mom noticed that she became calmer after almost two months. She started her OT session in March. And she goes to her session twice a week after her first evaluation.
She went to her ST Tuesday morning. Cathy (the speech therapist) couldn't contain her. She was hopping around and didn't really sit still. Her body needs to move and couldn't control her bladder neither and had an accident in the car.
She needs her deep pressure massages and all the range of motions from swinging off a trapeze to sliding down a slide and bouncing on a ball. Those motions help calm her senses and make her brain connects to her body.
This morning she has her two left feet again, all of a sudden with nothing obstructing her path, she fell down on her knees. Ouch with bruises.
She used to have so many little bruises all over her legs either caused by accidents from loosing her sense of balance or by purpose she would jump off the couch and lands her knees on hard wood floor to feel the pressure. Just breaks my heart to see her all banged up like someone abused her.
I have several sticks of Hyland's bumps n bruises with arnica montana. Those work wonders. The greens and purples fade away.
Tomorrow is her OT session. Yea! She loves playing in the sensory gym with Judy (the occupational therapist).
