A break has been nice

December has been a quiet month for therapy with Ellie, this was partly due to some therapy services not operating this month. It was also due to some advice from another mum with a child with WHS (Thanks Anna) That sometimes a break from therapy can but just what you and your child need.... and it was. This month was relaxed and Ellie and I have had some real good quality time together, and would you beleive it she has started to do more... she is now rolling, sitting a bit better with the boppy pillow and talking heaps. So I think Ellie really did appreciate the break from therapy too.

This break isnt going to go on too long as I do feel that therapy is a vital part in moving forward with Ellies development, however in the new year I am going to reasess what therapy Ellie requires and I am also going to look into a few new ideas from discussions with other Mums who have a child with WHS. Such as chiropractor (I have been advised that this can help with low muscle tone) I also want to look into craniosacral therapy, I dont know much about this but again has been recomended by other mums of WHS kids. One other thing that I am interested in is signing for babies. As we are unaware if Ellie will be able to talk, I would like to work on other forms and ways for her to communicate.

This all sounds like my year is going to be busy, even busier than last year. But my new years resolution is to reassess all the therapy that Ellie is currently having and the therapy that I think she would benefit from, and work out what is most important for her.... I normally dont make new years resolutions, but im sure I can stick to this one.
