Sadie's been doing so well recently. She's been gaining weight (11lb7 now) and she's been responding well to the physio. Last week Lisa, Sadie's physiotherapist was very impressed with Sadie's progress. She is able to spend time on her tummy now and turn her head more to her left. She also amazed us when she reached out to touch a new toy and then push it away. She did this several times with each arm so she is getting much more coordinated. These actions sound so simple, but they are such hard work for Sadie and she is very tired afterwards. Because she has little strength in her neck and low-tone it means she has to work very hard to do the things she wants to do, but its clear to see she is quite determined! At the moment Sadie has a bad cold. Sadie's condition means her immune system is low and and it also means that a simple illness can lead to other difficulties for Sadie and she may quickly deteriorate so we worry for her and have to keep a close eye on her. I've cancelled most visits and am keeping Sadie at home to rest and get lots of sleep. She seems to be getting over the worst of it and I'm hopeful that she can shake this off. Although she was very distressed at weekend, she seems to be coping well now and we've seen her beautiful smile return. In : Blog |
