First Early Intervention Visit!

Siena had her first appointment with Early Intervention today! Her Occupational Therapist (OT) is wonderful and has years of experience with children that have PWS. This first visit is mainly for Siena's primary evaluation of her motor skills, muscle tone, and social ability. She passed a multitude of tests with flying colors--something we didn't expect! She does have some things to work on, including lower tone in her upper body (specifically with head control and her arms). She took very well to her Boppy pillow during "tummy time." We'll be using this as a way to build her strength in her legs and shoulders in the upcoming weeks. Her OT says this will work wonders if done consistently multiple times a day. We were worried this would make her tired for her feedings, but the OT said she will gain strength and develop an appetite from all the hard work!
