Week 2

Today started with a new game plan. We didn't put Lilly's tickle machine (the vital stim)on. Trying to see what is getting her over stimulated. Instead she wore a compression suit. This gives her more body awareness. Seemed to work better this morning than the tickle machine. Brandy tried all morning to really watch her to see where the line is with Lilly. She loves the BIG stimulation but when you give it to her she can quickly go over the edge. It's a fine line. But she worked really great for her!! Much better than end of last week.

Tomorrow one of the ots is going to sit in on our day. She is going to watch Lilly and give us some suggestions in helping her sensory issues. She is also going to refresh my memory about brushing. Brushing is a great way to get input into the body. It is very regimented and strict. It should be done every 2 hrs and for a long period of time to give it a fair shot. I've never really committed to doing it. So since we are here for another 2 weeks without the distractions of our typical life back home, we are going to give it a go.

If you don't hear much from us over the next couple days...brushing would be why! The video below is of Lilly doing squats on the Total Body machine they have here. It works great for her!! Take a close look. If you have one of these sitting in your garage or spare room that is collecting dust, we will be looking for one!! Recycle!! Thanks for keeping up with us and all the prayers our way. Please pray for good weather at the end of the week so Gunnar and mom can come for a visit! Have a great week!!
