My OT, Sheryl, came to assess me for the first time! Mommy was worried
as she was coming by right at 1:15 and I start my feeding at 1....
However, she was smart and gave me about 30mls before my appointment so I
wouldn't be upset or puke. Also I had been awake for some time playing
before my new friend came to see me, so mommy and grandma were worried
that I would be too sleepy or even asleep when she came by.
I was
starting to get a little cranky before Sheryl showed up, however I was
attentive when Sheryl started talking to me... Of course she told me how
cute I was before diving into my exercises... which helps me to show
off my stuff!
She put me on my play mat and watched me for
awhile. At the beginning all I wanted to do was talk... she is a new
friend and I have lots of stories to tell her first! She assessed my
arms, head control, and legs, she rolled me onto my tummy and I had to
show her that I was a good boy, and didn't complain! She told Mommy and
Grandma what exercises to do with me to strengthen my arms and neck.
She
says I have a bit of low tone in my upper body. She says that strength
starts from the head down, so once I get better head control, my arms
and fine motor skills will follow.
She said that I am a social
beast (as I wouldn't stop talking, smiling and laughing). I wouldn't
let mommy talk to Sheryl as I had many things I wanted to say and wanted
the attention to be on me again! Sheryl said that I am excellent at
tracking, focusing and observing.
45 minutes later Sheryl
scheduled her next play visit with me (August 9th) and went on her way, I
fell asleep as soon as I heard the door shut!
