Madison had another appointment at Grandview this morning. She met with Dr. MacDonald who is her Developmental Pediatrician. We had not seen Dr. MacDonald since she gave us Madison’s diagnosis in October. She was happy to see all of Madi’s progress. She is retiring in a month so we met to get our ducks in a row. Hearing and new development doctor booked, vision screening in the fall, CP specialist from out west booked, speech assessment coming up and paperwork filled out for disability tax credit.
This is Madison trying to escape to play with the door.
We then headed to Nana ‘ s for a nap and some lunch. Madison was spoiled with her favourite sandwich- egg salad and she had jello and cookies. She loves playing with magnets and pictures on the fridge. It’s nice to be on March break and to be able to visit for lunch.
After Nana ‘ s we went to The Village for some exercise and stretching. Madison loves basketballs! She loves chasing them and watching people play on the court.
Next up…swimming!
Swimming continues to be so important for Madison. She did a great job today kicking her legs and going underwater. The pool was quiet so we were able to stay for a while and enjoy all the space. Today we started to work on getting out of the pool. I want her to learn how to use the rails on the ramp to walk sideways to get out of the pool independently. She did a pretty good job for her first try at it. We finished off in the hot pool doing our daily stretches. Her feet were very flexible which I think is from her consistent use of her AFO’S now that she has them.
She passed out in the car on the way home…great day! Now if only I could win the lottery and not have to work – every day would be like a March Break day!
