Music therapy

Maria had her first music therapy last week. Her interest came and went during the session so it's hard to tell how much she got out of it, but I think it will be helpful in the long run.

She's been kind of introspective lately. She seems to be exploring movement more. I've seen her a few times lately with a look of concentration on her face as she slowly moves her arm or her head, as though she's really focussed on how it feels.

She continues to be SO CLOSE to sitting on her own. I find she does better with something in front of her like a table, and the vision therapist says that is common as it gives a visual point of reference to help her balance. The other day she was sitting and started to overbalance to one side, and she raised the opposite arm to as a counter-balance. I don't think I've ever seen her do something like that before.

This week is her postponed appointment with the neurologist and the neurosurgeon to talk about the MRIs she had before. Plus, of course, all her usual therapies.
