M's Boo Boo

Today M had her first BIG boo boo. After dinner N put his blanket over his head and was walking into us, laughing having a good old time. He loves this game haven't figured out why yet, but whatever floats his boat right! He tried doing it to M once and we told him he could only do it to her when they were in the living room(on the carpet). Well, after awhile I was in the kitchen cleaning up, M was playing with something(I don't really remember), and N came in and bumped into her(doing the whole blanket thing). He knocked her right into the cabinet! I knew she at lest hit the cabinet door, but not sure about the handle or not. She of course started crying, I picked her up and sat on the chair w/her til she calmed down, not even 2 mins later she was fine stopped crying. At this point I finally got a good look at her and she has a 1/2 inch cut in the creese of her eyelid on the outside corner. It wasn't really bleeding, and daddy said it didn't need stitches so we cleaned it out(with no peep from her might I add!) And off she went to play some more. That girl is one strong cookie! If that was N he would have been crying/upset for at lest 10mins and trying to clean it would have been lots of...."that hurts" and tears(though he would let you do it)and it's hurt free stuff. I'm sure she'll have a black eye tomorrow or at lest right in that area will be black and blue.





I totally didn't update on Madison's therapist this week my bad so here goes. She had both of them on Monday. She has graduated from Physical therapy!! That's right no more physical therapy, it's a little sad, cuz we love that therapist(and our other one), she did tell me to keep in touch and call her with updates on her. Also if we think we need her to come out in like 3-4 months just call her, she's keeping her file open till she's at lest 18 months just to be safe, if anything arises. As far as Occupational therapy goes, it was good, she's making small head way with her sensory issues. That's going to be a long road, we are basically pushing her "fear" an inch at a time. On a good note it doesn't really seem to affect her walking to much. OK technically it does, but since Madison's such a smart cookie, she's learned that when she's "losing" it, to just stop til her balance comes back. It does affect her when she's excited, cuz she just tries to go and ends up falling, then she laughs at herself! The therapist did give me some more "intense" exercises to do to push the sensory a little more. Also, her left thumb is not getting any better, so the focus is to really push her to use the left hand more, she gave me some fun exercises to try and do with her so we will try and start that this week. The therapist was trying to get Madison into the sensory/OT room at the All Children's center, but she doesn't think she'll qualify. See the "problem" is that since we caught this so early we have been able to work with Madison and pretty much keep her on track with her age, now the "down fall" if you would, is that to get into the room she needs to be delayed by the sensory issue, or with an Occupational area, which she really isn't cuz we've been working with her. The bottom line is it just means that she will not benefit from all the cool sensory toys and having more specialist, she'll just have to deal with Mommy and Daddy trying to learn what we need to do and ALL her toys, poor thing :)
