Whitney crawled across the living room without falling tonight. What a feeling. The little advances mean so much. She seems to be getting stronger in the trunk. I think the Kinesio tape is working well. We can hold her thighs and she is able to hold up her trunk. She has even started to put her hands down at her sides instead of up at her face when she is standing.

I am noticing a jump in receptive speech too. She is following directions much better than last month. She will put her hands down when asked, without physically prompting her. She has started to put her legs flat on the floor when asked also, but still needs encouragement on that one. The speech eval should be finished Monday and normal therapy should start. There apprears to be about a 3-4 month difference in receptive and expressive speech. She is doing combinations of signs she knows...like "Finished" "sleep". She gets the point across.
