12 weeks of PT...

and so much to show for it!

she sat, unsupported for nearly 20 minutes!!
what a BIG girl!

Gracelyn is still scooting (her little inchworm method) like crazy!! She can really G-O!

Mr. Derrick, her PT, made her travel the length of the mat.
It's about 8 ft...

along the way, her pretty little head got heavy
(she had just sat for almost 20 minutes)
so she had to be bribed with Mr. Derrick's badge.

she made it!!
and she made sure to let him know just how upset she was at having to work so hard!

I am so proud of her, she is such a hard worker at therapy (even if she only does it for the attention that she gets from everyone there, because she gets ALOT!)
Gracelyn smiles so much, is such a happy girl for the most and I am thankful to God beyond words, for the work He is doing in her.

She has met almost all the 6 month requirements in physical therapy so within the next 2 weeks, she will be forced to graduate. She is 8 months old on Wednesday so depending on what our doc says we may look into another therapist for her.
I still have to give her suppositories daily and I pray that the more mobile she gets, the more it will ease her bowels somehow.
Our other main issue right now is Miss G's tongue thrust, it's not getting any better, even after the couple of months that she's been on solids. She cannot eat off the spoon well so I have to thin her fruits and veggies so she can slurp them off the spoon. Blaine is attending speech therapy for stuttering and Ms. Janet, his therapist, is looking into it for us to see if she can help in any way.
