Ever since we moved from Cypress back to Sugar Land, we cut Bella's PT/ OT down to 2 times per week. She was doing good at the time, progressing, and we really wanted to stay with her current therapist until she was walking. Decreasing therapy was the viable solution that has kept me driving to Cypress every Monday and Wednesday morning at 7 am. (Her therapist were actually the ones who recommended it so that I did not get burned out).
Bella's wonderful therapist have been with her since she was 5 months old and she has really taken to them. Actually, I would say she has a love hate relationship with them. They really are awesome!
For the past several months we have been working VERY hard towards bearing weight on her feet/ legs, sitting balance, standing unassisted, and eventually taking a few steps on her own... Fortunately, Bella has been able to practice some of these tasks, but we are still very far from where we wanted and expected her to be right now.
We know that these "plateau" time periods can happen and do happen, but it is still tough to hear it. We hope that Bella works through this quickly, gets back to improving soon, and shows us that she actually wants to move forward and push herself.
For right now, the best thing we can do it be creative, find new ways to encourage her to move the way we want, pray that God brings her body strength, and be thankful for what she CAN do at the moment.
By the way, I am excited to say that Bella's 2nd tooth popped through today!! Yippee! The next tooth to show is her "special" tooth, I am actually super duper excited to see my beautiful baby with her snaggle tooth ;) . Who can say that they only had one 'big' top tooth? Not many..
