Wednesday Libby received her first custom chair. I know that this will help her in so many ways.  It will provide her with the proper support to sit up and be involved in activities that other kids are doing.  She isn’t able to do much yet, but the hope is to get her upward and maybe she will become more involved. She is showing signs of boredom with just lying under a jungle gym.  But she isn’t able to sit in a bouncy chair just yet.  So that is the exciting part.  The sad part is…. Well it just looks so medical as Mike put it.   It’s so hard to see and think of your child’s limitations, but in all reality this chair/stroller will actually increase her chances to exceed.  Sometimes it’s just hard to get past the look.

Libby also was fitted for splints for her hands.  The hope is to help her hands relax and open them more.  Next will probably be braces on her feet/legs.  They too need to relax and we need to make sure they don’t start turning her feet inwards.  This girl takes everything so well and she is so much stronger than I ever could be.  She continues to fight to hold her head up every single day!  The best part about this little girl is her smile we get to see every single day!
