Today started of with physion with Helene. It was good to get back into doing Ellies exercises, I explained my concerns to Helene about how Ellie has gotten weaker after the last 2 weeks of no exercises due to the seizure and being unwell. She has given me some new 'light' exercises to do, as well as keeping up with the other ones to improve her strength in her arms and legs and to eventually weight bear in them.
Helene is going to look into getting some splints that Ellie can wear on her legs and arms while she is doing her exercises. This will help them stay straight, and she will be able to put more weight on them. So hopefully we get them next week.
The title of my blog today..... "Always a goal to reach, not there yet" We have lots of goals for Ellie, but one we have been making light of lately is that we cant wait for her to hit 6kg. This doesnt sound that hard, but unfortunately it is, for the last 6 months Ellie's weight has been going between 5kg and 5.95kg, so hence the goal of 6kg (13.2lbs)
Everyone that has seen Ellie lately has commented on how much she has grown. Grown she has , but put on weight she hasnt. Today we had a appoitnment with the maternal health nurse, and and I had my fingers crossed that we would get over the 6kg mark. We were close, but not quite there. Ellie weighed in at 5.89kg. But in our world 'Good things come in small packages'
