After so many months of dealing with Cora's nervousness, we are finally seeing a Physical Therapist. We know we totally should have done this months ago... and to be brutally honest, we just took the doctor's word for it - "no, she doesn't need physical therapy". Well unfortunately, she did... and now we aren't only doing PT, but we are doing mental therapy as well. The girl is scared to death.
So... we've done two sessions of PT already. First one was getting to know the PT, and the PT getting to know Cora. Cora was very nervous, and scared - lots of tears, but she fought through it. The PT was very kind and helpful. For now, Cora is to participate in tumbling, but only certain movements. We are trying to strengthen her arm, shoulders and her mind.
Today we had her second session - and it went well. Cora was much more relaxed, and the PT did a electrode therapy on Cora. It was very cool... and I think it worked well. She did some more exercises and other things to strengthen. I'm very pleased, and I just continue to pray that Cora's nerves ease up with tumbling.
