Ali had her second physical therapy appointment today. She has been limping pretty bad the last few days. I am not sure if she has over did it the last few days playing or maybe all the high and low pressure weather systems that have come through are the issue. At her PT appointment today her PT Andi said that she is seeing improvement in what Ali is willing to try and her abilities doing the skills. We did have only one "fit" today at the appointment. Her PT wanted her to stand on this thing that looks like if you cut a exercise ball cut in half. Ali would not do it. She in fact crawled under a table and proceeded to eat a piece of dirt off the floor while screaming NO! I believe that was her showing her control over the situation. "You can't make me do it and in fact I am leaving and I am going to put dirt in my mouth and scream to show you." After a while I got her to come out and finish her treatments. She just wants to do what she wants to do, like most two year olds. Ali also has her personal stress going on. I have not been primary in caring for her these past couple weeks. She has been doing a ton of visits at peoples homes and being baby sat a lot, while I am on my final stretch of bed-rest. I have been trying to keep a consistent schedule for her but it is hard.
Tomorrow Justin and my Mother-in-law are talking Ali to her appointment to get her first round of medication shots at the Children's Hospital. I hope it goes well. I will not be able to go to the appointment. The walk from the parking garage into the hospital is way more then I am allowed to walk at this point. I am worried about having to give her the shots but now with me not going I will not be trained in it. Also the type of medications they are it is not safe for me to handle with-out rubber gloves on while I am expecting and then after nursing. I have not remembered to have Justin pick any up at the store either at this point. Feeling nervously hopeful for our future.
