Therapy Week 2

Another week of therapy has started.....and boy was it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long.

Poor little Zach didn't do so good with OT today - he wanted me so I had to leave the room then he did better. He had his brushing and compressions then seemed to settle right in for a little while. It all went down hill when he started crying and kept reaching for me. Ms. Jerry-Anne couldn't calm him so she deiced it would be best for her to take a walk with him and us to wait in the lobby. I was glad she got to see Zach like that because it is how he behaves most of the time at home.

I didn't get to go in for ST today because he just switched from one to the other without me knowing. Ms. Kristin said he did really good today - he got out a new sound by imitating her - H - he liked trying to fog up the mirror. She said she really pushed him and it was hard for him because he likes to redirect since his attention is so poor but she would get him right back on track. She said he is one little tough guy.

I think he did well with how long therapy was - he went right down for a nap as soon as we got home. Both therapists said he was worked very hard today with each of them. - It showed with how tired he was - Zach napped from about 1:40pm until 5:30ish. Not that is naps are ever short but I was stunned.

Both Jerry-Anne and Kristin were happy that I switched pediatricians and think I'm doing the right thing. It was really hard getting rid of the only pediatrician we've had since moving to Florida.

The OT is concerned with Autism so she had me fill out the M-CHAT, but she didn't have time to score it - I already know since I took it when Molly shared it with BBC. I'm glad to have found this place - I feel as if they are really taking things the right directions with Zach.

I'm hoping on Thursday I will have both the ST and OT evaluations and reports in my hand. I got to look at the OT report, but she had made a mistake and wanted to clear it up before giving me a copy. It had a ton of information that I would like to learn about on it, along with a ton of short term and long term goals.

Well.....that was day one of week two - now for Thursday to get here.......
