Physical Therapy

I just realized that I totally forgot to add this into my last post about last week's visit.

While we were at the clinic for Kayla's treatment, Dr. Hansen's nurse came in and asked me if the physical therapist had come yet.  I told her no.  She told me that if the therapist didn't come today, she would come next week.  Yay!  I was thrilled about that.  It meant no extra appointment for us to make and go to!

The physical therapist did come in that day.  She was very nice and Kayla was (surprisingly) very cooperative and did everything that she was asked to do.  I'm not sure what her name was, so I'll just call her the therapist.  The therapist did an evaluation on Kayla and told me that she is a very strong girl (. . . yeah, I know that. :)  They rate strength on a scale from 0-5.  Kayla was 5 everywhere except her ankles.  They were just a little bit weaker.  So, she gave us 5 simple exercises to do each day to help Kayla to strengthen her ankles.  They are very simple and should be easy to do.

So, each day, usually when all the kids are home, we all do the exercises together and they think it is fun.  Even Benson gets in on it. :)  I don't know if the therapist will be coming back to check on Kayla every once in a while or what, but I was soooooooooo grateful that she came to us while we were at the clinic.  I am not going to worry about getting Kayla in to do physical therapy now. :)
