Therapy

This morning Henslee had Therapy with Brian her Occupational Therapist. We have been testing out a Listening Program. Henslee will wear head phones and listen to different frequencies of music. The first time we tested it on her she shocked us by actually keeping the head phones on her head for 10 min!! Well today after having her listening session of 15 min and keeping the head phones on pretty much the entire time she was  new gal :) She sat on Brians lap for a good 30 minutes while they read books together. I have given up on having Henslee sit on my lap to read books. She hates it, she arches her back and yells. She just wants down. So I been reading to the kids while they are strapped in their highchairs and entertained by eating. So to have her sit and read books and really look at the pictures for 30 min was INCREDIBLE!!! I am so INCREDIBLY grateful for ALL of Henslee's therapist. They are all INCREDIBLE people and have helped me more than I could ever imagine. They love Henslee and I can see that by the way they treat her and love her while they come to our home to help us learn and better understand the needs of Henslee. Today was a great day! So Thankful for Brian to be in tune with Henslee and to see her needs.
