Last weekend (twice) and today, we've rushed Olivia to the potty to do #2 and she does it! How great that I can post this milestone on a blog and be proud of it! She's still going in the potty about half the time, so we're still training, but she's getting there!
I met the PT & supervisor at daycare Tuesday for the monthly session. It went well, they said her foot positioning is much better than before and could still see a difference after we put on the kinesio tape (rt leg)...she didn't seem to swing her hip and leg out and around when running, but completely straight. So we are going to continue with the tape as long as her skin tolerates it. We have an appt. next week to check on her foot brace, though, because it either needs adjusting or we need a bigger one already! It's rubbing a few spots on her foot.
We put Olivia's Princess "big girl" bed in her room on Sunday are are transitioning her into that this week...she doesn't like for us to leave the room until she falls asleep! :( but each night seems to get a little better...a LITTLE. Hopefully it will be easier for her to fall asleep here soon so we can get some sleep, too! Well, that's all for now, will post sonogram pics soon!
We thought this would be a fun way to post updates on Olivia and Madi's ever-changing world for family & friends to see!
About Me
- Kristy and Brian
- Brian & I met online in 2000 and married in June 2003. Olivia was born April 14th, 2006, a week before due date! She has blessed us in so many ways. She had an AVM bleed in her brain at 5 mo. and had emergency surgery to remove it. She's been through 4 surgeries total, all by age 5. Oct. 6, 2006 was the date of the AVM bleed and she endured PT, OT, and Speech Therapy through Early Intervention Services until age 3. Now, only OT once/wk and an IEP through school w/sped ed, OT and Speech. Madison was born 6.29.09 and is growing up too fast, talking up a storm, potty training and enjoying time with her family and friends at daycare and church. Her cute little personality blossoms more every day. :) The girls are best friends and get along really well about 99% of the time.
Liv and Madi
sweet girls :)
