Jen's Fancy Casts

New to us this summer was serial casting. Jen's muscles are super tight and her therapists are hoping to get a lasting stretch this way. We've spent all month going in to have another stretch and casts applied.

Her favorite color is yellow, but the therapist didn't have enough yellow to do the entire thing, so she compromised with purple casts and yellow stripes.

 

 

We're on the final set now and I'm beginning to notice a marked improvement in her walking.  Really hoping this is just the thing she's needed!

 

Therapy Fun!

Now lest you think we are going this whole conquering sensory issues alone... we have a great team of therapists who are helping and advising. 

So blessed to have access to some really good professionals!

The quest to conquer sensory processing disorder

Our tiny miss has suffered from an absolute lack of stimulation and we're working hard at PLAY in our house.  Her favorite activity would be the water table....

followed by the Therabrush.

It took her two days to warm up to the water beads.  She WANTED to touch them, but the feeling was a bit too much.

Some of my grandchildren were over the next day and they LOVED them.

I believe they were instrumental in getting Sonnet to give them a chance.

Another thing we've tried is Kinetic Sand.  At this point she grabs a handful and attempts to take it straight to her MOUTH so we'll put that one away for awhile!
