Still Doing well

Anya has been doing really well. Last week my mom was visiting and was able to get some really good PT Sessions in (my mom is a Physical Therapist that works with children 0-3 with special needs). She was very encouraged with some of the things Anya was doing. She practiced head control, weight bearing on her legs, sitting and rolling and using her core muscles. Anya has been doing great at hitting a ball and watching it roll. She is getting cause and effect. And all the smiles were awesome!

 

We will be going to a new pediatrician this Thursday. She is a holistic pediatrician and we are very excited for Anya to be getting most of her needs taken care of there. Our last MD just didn't seem interested in all the Alternative stuff we wanted to try and were very much going with the traditional approach. Much of the meds they have suggested in the past never made a difference and am done with trying meds that she doesn't need. ex. reflux, seizure and formula that has awful indigestible ingredients. I am really thinking Anya never had a Mitochondria disorder. I think her surgery done the 5th day of life was done way too quickly and her body started to downward spiral from there. Then to add her vaccines on top of her overworked immune system really seemed to push her over the edge, In my heart I feel much of Anya's problems could have been avoided. Therefore, we are trying to "undo" everything that has caused problems. I wouldn't be surprised if her Mitochondria was compromised by much of the events that took place in her first 3 months of life, but I don't believe she was born with any genetic disorder.

 

So for now, we will take all the great days she has as blessings and work on diminishing all the bad days. She is one of the strongest little girls I know and God is taking care of her.
