Just a quick update from me, we had Nakita's appointment with the physio at the hospital today.
And well I am glad that I brough up my concerns and got the referral, I don't feel like I was over reacting now
Nakita has been diagnosed (I hate that word as it makes her sound sick!!) with Hypermobility, so basically she very flexible/too flexible, and her muscles, ligaments and tendons are weak/lose/floppy. Which means she has to work a lot harder than a person with normal muscular control to be able to do certain types of movements.
So things that require the use of stabilising muscles, she is good at like standing still and sitting upright, but anything of a transitional movement such as rolling, moving from sitting to on the floor, climbing over things, pulling herself up etc are very hard for her.
We did the gross motor skills chart to see how she scored to get an idea where she was on the charts (another bad word ), to create a benchmark. She scored at 27, and based on her corrected age of 10 months she wasn't even close to the bottom of the chart She is the equivalent of an 8 month old on the 5th%ile, which is a bit scary
but I am happy having a starting point IYKWIM.
All in all it was a very positive experience, the physio we had was just gorgeous lovely woman, we are really thrilled with Jane!!
We have a range of exercises to work on to improve her muscle strength, and transition movements, and we have piccies to take to daycare as well, and I will run them through the exercises next week, they have already been doing the ones we have asked so far.
I am little bit frustrated as if we had stayed under the WCH system and not transferred private that it would have been picked up/addressed sooner as we would have been monitored more closely by her original Paed, where as we were discharged from her Paed at 6 months, but we cannot look at that now, my focus is on Nakita from now on in
So all in all I am happy, I am glad that I followed my insticts and sought the referral.
Nakita's first top tooth (on the left hand side arrived overnight) accompanied with a very unsettled night, the one next to it looks like it will burst very soon, too, hopeing that it is over and done with quickly!!
Vic I read this on your other thread... glad you've got a physio you love and a way forward! You sound a lot more positive too.... hope you feel better after taking some time for yourself. and for the tooth!
Not much to report here, sleep has been very bad this week, I think there are more teeth coming but can't get in her mouth to look. Don't feel I've accomplished anything this week, and still in denial about returning to work Monday week
At least I got my hair done this morning so that was good..... anyhoo, gotta run, grumpy overtired baby stuck under the desk!
well to cut a long story short the whoel service has gone smoothly, It was a lovley service and we are glad made the trek out here regardless of maxing out our credit card we wouldnt have had it any other way. Its a straneg ans wery feeling like soemthing si missing every where we look. And it's feels like just yesterday we were here with gran.
This morning nanna has ds3 with her and poppato chruch and me and hubbie are using the wahsing machine and quietly looking through grans old belonging. We are here all day as the car we use has been borrowed for the day.
The day i flew in here my duaghter had her first period, and im not sure how im coping/feeling is probably a better word with that i wish iw as there. I am so scared now like a whole new level has been reached. Im upset and in some type of shock i guess ya can never prepare ya self for that can ya. My gosh she can have babies she just had her 11th birthday. I mean wow.
She wasnt scared or un educated she was as calm as anything she sent me an email and was all clued in. Thank good ness too as i had already given her the talk 1 year prior and a few in between. The day she got it was also the day they started learning about it in school too. I guess im just sorta feeling like i should have been there and also hoping she is fine and its not painful for her. Her dad has been awesome and they have a great open relationship so she is very comfortable about it with him witch is great.
i dunno im still processing all of this unsure how im really feeling regarding this. wow i guess happy yes but feeling heavy and strange to.
i been missng my bb support as thinsg like this i relie heavely on for feedback maybe i shouldnt i dunno but i do.
Squiddy glad to hear things are going well. for your DD it's a very exciting time for her, shame you can't be there to share it with her.
Well it's a bit quiet around here :tumbleweeds:
We had a great night last night, went to see Simon & Garfunkel with the PIL's and that was lovely. My stepmother babysat and she is such a legend, she also did the dishes, tidied up, emptied the dishwasher and I suspect did a vacuum as well.... it was awesome! Even better than that madam actually slept from midnight until about 6.30 am, and then came into our bed and we snoozed until after 8! it was bliss!
My last week off work this week... I'm still in denial, I'm still hoping it is all a horrible mistake and they're going to call me and say they really don't need me to come back... *sigh* Anyway we're just going to take it one day at a time and if I really can't bear to be away from her I'll quit. But in the meantime... one more week.
Anyhow hope everyone has a lovely weekend and maybe someone will post soon!
Pix - going back to work aint that bad I started back last Monday. Have to work a couple of extra days this week as the manager is on leave but I am finding it fine!
But yeah I guess if you find it hard then quitting is the way to go!
Mel - how you going hun? had any scans yet, would love to see pics if you have them
Rach - how big is E now? I had K weighed and measured at the beginning of this month and he was 12.5kg and 83cm tall
Oh I dont think I came in to tell all of you - Kye now has his TWO bottom teeth and I think the first top one is close.
I managed to kind of get my finger in his mouth this morning and could feel a slight bump he's catching up to everyone else at last hehe
Anyways that's my ramblings ... not alot else to report really - how boring!
Gotta get ready to go out for my fortnightly lunch with the girls
Squidipa, wishing you a safe journey xx
