Over the next few weeks Luke and I will keep taking her just to get her used to the water and moving in it. Once she is comfortable in the water, one of Ellies physiotherapists will hold a session with us in the pool showing some exercises that will help Ellie. The plan is then for us to take her a couple of times a week and about every 6 weeks, the physio will do a pool session and review what exercises she is doing.
Ellie looked unbelievably cute in her bathers, they were a 2 piece with little bottoms and a rash vest. Would you beleive we didnt remember to take a photo of her in her bathers or in the pool.... Oh well we will do that next time.
I have to admit, this morning didnt feel like therapy, or hard work on Ellies or our behalf. It felt like normal fun, normal kid like fun... which was nice!!!
I think ill like this pool thing!!
Sounds great! Ryley loves the water. It is so good for the muscles! Hope you can get some pics soon!!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Glad to hear it wasn't hard work! I love hydrotherapy too! Can't wait to see some pics of her in action!
ReplyDeleteHydro is great!! we took Noam when he was younger.... Mel therapy should be something fun you do together! i know that it is hard to see like that sometimes and we often wish we didn't have to do it but if you can enjoy it sometimes then it makes it a little easier to get through! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I love taking Gracie to the pool. She was nervous at first, but every time after that she got better and better. We are now at the stage where I can put a life vest on her and she can walk around a little on her own.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work/fun!
