Our Journey through the Maze

I was tickling Ellye yesterday and I got a smile from her! I am so excited. I haven’t seen her do it again but I keep trying. She has a bit of a cold and has been having a hard time breathing through her nose.  It was a great day though! I have been wanting her to interact with me. I feel like she can’t really see me. She may be looking at me but she doesn’t really get excited or anything when she looks at me. I’m hoping that will change. Her adjusted age is 3 months (on Jan 13) I have no expectations just living day by day.

We have a vision therapist who has been trying to get her to follow objects and she says that she is a little slow with tracking. But each time she comes Ellye falls asleep. So we will see what she does this next week. She still has torticollis, I’m not sure if it will ever go away. We are trying to keep her on her belly more so that she gains the strength she needs. She appears to be trying to get stronger with her core muscles.

For some added therapy, music is supposed to be good for her. I would like to get a real piano for her. I wonder if that’s tax deductible? Sure would be nice. Brian set up his drums this weekend so I’m sure that’s not the “therapy” sounds we are looking for but she seems to be doing okay with the loudness in the house.
