This morning we met with Ellie's caseworker for the Infant Development Program (IDP). She was really nice. We talked about the various referrals she was going to put through, for speech therapy (1 year waitlist), occupational therapy (6 month waitlist), and physiotherapy (2 month waitlist). She did an assessment of Ellie.
For a 3 month old, Ellie's doing a lot of things she should be. She's even doing some things a little early (like laughing). She's behind in holding up her massive head, so I was shown some ways of encouraging wee Miss to lift it while she's on her belly. She did great holding the rattle, and she was in a good, and interactive mood, which was great.
I asked about going to a private physio clinic before the referral goes through for the physio through IDP, she thought it would be a good idea. So, going to call them for an appointment hopefully next week.
Ellie's tone is low, but it isn't half as bad as she was expecting, so YAY! She had a great feed while Leora was visiting, and that was fantastic. Always looking for the little things that show what a fighter she is.
We are going to meet again in a month.
