Well, the kids had their appointment today with an Occupational therapist (OT). It went fairly well.
She had a lot of good ideas and things for us to work with here at home. She had a lot of good input on helping Joey with his hand control.
She said that the majority of the issue is strength. We can do all kinds of things with them but until we get his strength up, the coordination will never come easy.
she Worked with Abby for a good long while today. It was a real eye opener how weak she is. She told us that much of what she does is simply her compensating or covering up her weakness. So... she took those away and pushed her to do things correctly. Broke my heart to realize that she really does have a lot of weakness there and her endurance is little to nothing.
Needless to say, she had the recomendation to start Abby in therapy services here locally. So, we will be.
Thanks for the prayers! hugs to all of you!
