PT with Shawn today. Today after pt Miss Avery came walking out with assistance and a walker. Avery immediately let go of the walker to point and show me her Cookie sticker...so stinkin funny! Everyone laughs at how obsessed she is with stickers. This time the walker was facing the way an elderly person would usually use it. Shawn commented th...at Avery tends to bend more at the hips when it is facing this way. Shawn is trying to figure out what is best for her. She commented that Averys hips are still pretty weak and we need to work on getting them stronger...which is what we are doing. I think it is just gonna take more time than the other muscles and I have no idea why.
On another kinda gross note..Avery has problems going #2....and it is probably because she doesn't walk/move much, doesn't stand upright and also her muscles have low tone making things move slower in that area. Shawn's Mom is a massage therapist and gave Shawn some tips to give us. They worked on her during therapy and Avery started tooting...and sure enough when we got home....well you know the rest. Anyways, we have to lay her on her left side and massage up one side, over her belly and down the other side. (don't worry she wrote it down for me)It seemed to work so that is a relief (literally) she is so miserable quite often because of this problem.
