Update 2-4-10

Ayla had her first heavy duty physio appt today. It went all of terrible. She screamed in terror the whole time. Not many tears, just so afraid that it would hurt and totally not liking them touching her. We go back every tuesday for the next month for now. She got a walker built for bigger kids that we call a bike:) Her and Ezra love it.
They are talking about possibly getting some splints for her arms and legs for night time to help her stretch when she is sleeping.
Next week we are going to try bringing Ezra and allowing them to touch him in similar ways and to see that he's okay with it. It's such a cool place! So many cool toys everywhere! It really is a kids haven...if only she could see it.
She enjoys all the swimming we have been doing though. They said today that her hips are in much better shape than last time we were there. So...its coming along.
Yesterday i took her to see an alternative therapy professional. She was recommended from a couple people at our church. This is something we can do on top of everything else. It's about eliminating foods and increases vitamins and mineral to stimulate her body to heal. There are some women at our church that have Rhuematoid Athritis and do this on top of medication and find it works fantastic...so we shall see. I'm worried about changing her diet and everything on top of all else she is going through. So i've just been praying for guidance.
That's all for now...
