Rough Mornings

The past two mornings have been really rough.  She has a pretty busy schedule, often with OT followed immediately by PT or vice versa.  Since they are more or less working on the same things right now, it makes for over an hour of constant therapy, and that is proving to be a little too much for her, at lease in the morning.  The past two mornings she has done well with her first session but then been too tired for her second session.  Yesterday she said "MORE hard work?!" and broke down in tears and it was pretty much the same story this morning as well.  But after a break and lunch she has managed to do really well in her afternoon sessions, even though those have been back-to-back as well.  We requested today that they schedule her other activities (school, playgroup etc,) in between her OT and PT sessions to give her more of break between them to see if that goes any better.  She is clearly tired by the end of her days--I would say more so than even when she was doing her 5-hr intensive PT days at home.  It is amazing to me how hard just holding her head up and sitting and rolling are after the surgery.  That said, she is doing everything she is supposed to be doing and seems to be pretty on track.  She keeps pushing into hands and knees on her own which has each therapist who sees her doing it raising their eyebrows, like they are surprised she is doing it on her own.  But they seem happy with that, and I *think* she is going to get to start using her wheelchair tomorrow.  She has figured out how to roll her prone cart on her own, so I am hoping she takes to the wheelchair easily--she has never had one before so it will be interesting to see how that goes.
