Luckily we did not get hit with the worst of Hurricane Sandy. We did have a lot of rain and wind but luckily didn’t lose power (which is unusual). Steve manned the Emergency Operations Center and Sydney and I hung out at home.
Today was our two week PT appointment and we’ve been scaled back to once a month visits! Sydney is keeping her head midline more often so it’s just a matter of breaking her habit of the head tilt when she’s really concentrating or reaching for something. Breaking that habit will happen over time and with her wearing her TOT Collar. She will remain in PT until she is walking on her own. Once she is walking, they just want to make sure she’s not tilting or using one side more than the other. Which actually brings me to this….she took 2 steps all on her own today!!!! She did this a couple of times walking from Steve to me or from me back to Steve. She let go of our hands and took a couple steps! So, it won’t be long before she is walking on her own and we’ll hopefully have PT behind us!! Oh, on a side note, I don’t think I mentioned but she is currently getting 5 (maybe 6) teeth all at the same time! Thank goodness they haven’t really bothered her! Pretty soon, she’ll have a mouth full of teeth!
I’ve started making a Christmas list for Sydney in case anyone wants to look at it. I decided to make it at Target this year because Toys R Us aggravates me (that’s a story for later). Here’s the link: http://www.target.com/ot/list/I-eHQ7ERbvApHsgVdbYOAw or you can search for the list at Target.com under TargetLists using her name or Nikki Basham. There’s not much on there right now but it’s a start and I’ll keep trying to add to it. Don’t feel obligated to buy specifically from Target or this list or at all for that matter…this is just an idea of things she would like. She still LOVES books and is currently wearing 12mo clothes now so will probably be wearing 18mo clothes by the time Christmas gets here or shortly after and it won’t be long before she is in a size 3 shoe. Then there’s also the option of cash for her car/college/wedding fund…LOL J.
