Beth is very knowledgable and noticed and explained a lot about the way Josephine has compensated for her weaknesses. She is setting goals to help her improve her strength and balance. We start therapy next Wednesday!
The best way for Josephine to gain the most function is to start back at the beginning with core strengthening, crawling, and then walking. Josephine will resist this because she is too young to understand why.
I remember well the tears Madalyn had when forced to work hard before she was old enough to understand. But it's so worth it! As soon as Madalyn mastered sitting up it was like she understood the purpose and she has worked hard ever since. I hope Josephine will find the same determination from within!
