PT,OT,ST

Grace got physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy yesterday, not to mention a little valium. The valium came about because the developmental docs thought she has some spasticity in her lower extremities. You will recall that she is very high risk for developing CP. The valium worked to decrease her muscle tone, in fact it decreased about everything. Poor little thing was as floppy as a rag doll. We would like to back off on the valium until she really needs it. The spasticity is mild at the moment and we can always add it later if it becomes a problem.
We are thrilled with the care she is getting in the IICU though. Lots of attention, lots of therapy and lots of spoiling. You go girl!
