With age, comes more equipment.

It’s been non-stop in our household. Last week was CRAZY. We had an appointment everyday. It was a little ridiculous. We started our week with our intake appointment at Bloorview (it happens to be the biggest and best children’s rehab facility in Canada). Apparently our intake interview? Was to begin ANOTHER wait list. And the magic number around here seems to be 6 months.
Tuesday we had physiotherapy. Not Jillian’s idea of a fun time. Wednesday, I THOUGHT we had nutrition clinic, but got the date wrong- I showed up 1 day early. That was annoying. So, Thursday we schlep down to the doctors office again. This time? The doctor didn’t show. Pure awesomeness. Friday we had an appointment with the eye clinic. I’ve been noticing Jillian’s left eye wanders a bit when she gets tired. They said “well, hopefully she’ll grow out of it, but we’d like to see you again……..In 6 months.” Of course. 6 months. That’s an awesome time frame, thanks for that!
I inserted a picture tonight of a new piece of equipment for Jillian. It’s a “Dondolino Stander”. Hopefully by getting her into a PROPER standing position (therefore, not on her toes) it’ll encourage her to walk. Along with some more equipment in the next few months (a gait trainer and possibly a pediatric walker) if Jillian doesn’t start walking soon, our whole apartment will be over run by equipment.)
It’s been a long haul, but, hopefully it’ll all pay off in the long run.
