Praise God Ayla physio went very well yesterday!
They changed her from the occupational therapy room (baby toys and not many people to ditract) to the Physio Therapy room which was busy busy with lots of cool stuff. Ezra was a great distraction today! The PT lady was so glad he was there. His goofyness and running around totally distracted Ayla and she had more fun. Just what we had hoped for last week. They also only had one person at a time, where before it was PT and OT together. She even laughed and played with Laurie (PT) a little instead of crying and scowling:)
All was good until Laurie wanted to put the envelope and try some new things. She said Ayla's knees are way better, so she wanted to if if she could convince Ayla to play at a kitchen. She kind of stood Ayla between her legs supporting her and Ayla didn't really like it at all. She could bare some weight, but wasn't having fun, that's for sure. Then she wanted to see how much weight Ayla could bare while walking supported (we were telling him we've been making her do that a few times a day). She could bare about 50% of her weight for a few steps. We tried it again (Ryan supporting her walking to me) so she could see from the side about how much...her legs were to tired and she could barely put any. BUT SHE IS GETTING BETTER:)
OT (occupuational therapy) brought her braces today. Ezra tried them on as "power ranger gloves." Ayla tried them on as "Princess gloves":) Whatever works. These braces are for her hands, fingers, wrists to help them stretch and straighten. She also got a Bob the Builder one for her elbows she is supposed to sleep with alternating arms...we will see how that goes.
She had swimming last night as well. She went with Ryan and did awesome! She went down the little slide and was floating unassisted on her back in a life jacket while kicking hard enough to make herself move!
What a great day! Praise God!

On a side note, Ayla told her first knock knock joke today:) WE laughed and laughed.


Ayla: Knock knock
Us: who’s there?
Ayla: banana
Us: banana who?
Ayla: Orange-hehehehe

She has heard her brother tell that joke too many times i think:)
