First PT Home Visit

Lauren had her first PT Home Visit appointment today--where she was actually worked out. Joan, her physical therapist, went through all the different movements we are supposed to do with her daily; but overall was very encouraging. Per Joan, Lauren is moving extremely well for an almost one month old baby, never mind that she's an HIE baby! Wonderful news to hear! There were two minor items she mentioned: 1) stiffness in her right wrist (most likely linked to Lauren's extreme like to keep her fist tightly wadded-up like a prize fighter!), and 2) she has a slight tremor in her right foot when Joan performed the tap-reflex test (taps bottom of her foot with hand; a reflex/action seen often in HIE babies--but Joan didn't seem worried at this either). So bottom line, it was probably as good a first PT visit as we would've asked for, and we pray Lauren continues to keep her limbs flying and progressing along with her baby "colleagues"...
