Grace's journey

Water Therapy
01/06/11

We had therapy indoors today because it was so cold and foggy out, and didn't want Grace in that kind of weather. I don't know what was wrong with today, but she was just not cooperative at all! Ok, maybe 5% of the time...This is Grace strapped into the treadmill. This is the second time she's used it, but was NOT happy today. We even had a movie going, and she still didn't like it! But we still did the workout, as it's really good for her to get the feel of walking correctly.
Here's what the treadmill looks like. That is Elaina, her therapist, moving her legs like they are supposed to move when she walks. There were a few times she didn't cry, but all in all, she didn't like it!

Now she's working on walking. We had the ball sitting there to tempt her to move more...well, it took a while! Before this, we tried to have her stand against the wall, but she didn't want to at ALL. And we tried to do the standing at the foam blocks, but she didn't like that either.
Well, she finally made it!! She's bending over, which is great!! And she actually pulled herself back up, and didn't need help doing it except to keep her upright.
And she got it, and she's down! She just wanted to sit sit sit for her therapy session.




This video is her walking :) Didn't she do well?!
