Busy Girl

Riley has got one serious schedule! Sometimes it's hard for me to keep up! Let alone keep it all straight. Right now she currently sees 5 different therapists. And she's had 5 others. She also routinely sees her PCP, 12 specialist Doctors and an orthopedist. So our weeks are pretty packed to say the least. I'm just grateful that all these people have the same great focus which is helping Riley. We have met some incredible people in the midst of the chaos and we (most directly Riley) are better for having them in our lives!

Therapy takes up alot of her time as I try to incorporate it into everyday life and she has 6 appointments each week.






Riley is persistent and is usually a hard working patient! Right now Miss Kari,her developmentalist is working on alot with her by helping her expand her vocabulary, match similar things, and follow directions. Miss Christy, her PT is helping her in her gait trainer and with standing on her own. Miss Sara, her feeding therapist is helping her with chewing, boulous control and her swallowing. Miss Christina, her speech therapist is helping her start to use her first communication device- a Go Talk. And Miss Minnie, her OT is helping her with her fine motor skills and using her left hand more.

Eventhough it keeps us so busy I'm so thankful to have so many wonderful experts on our side!
