Lately I have been feeling a little discouraged with Clover's progress....especially relating to her gross motor development. Her tone is still very low. It's really hard to fully understand and get what it is to have low tone until you hold a baby with low tone. You really have to support everything....trunk, legs, arms, shoulders, etc. Holding Clover is a totally different experience than holding Henry.
She is still struggling to put any weight on her arms or legs. When we try to put her into a crawling position, her arms just give out and she can't hold herself up. Therapy has been pretty hard to watch the past couple of days because I have to sit there and see Clover struggle and get upset and cry and it is just heartbreaking.
Yesterday after a grueling day of therapy, Clover was left completely exhuasted and I was left feeling down and worrying about my sweet girl.
Then this happened....
I am so beyond proud of Clover. She works so hard and is so amazing. I want to cry everytime I watch this video because it is such a huge milestone for our little girl. When she was born and in the NICU, we didn't know if she would ever be able to do this.
Henry was proud of his big sister too. Wasn't that kiss at the end just adorable. Love my sweet boy.
These two kids make me so incredibly happy and they teach me SOOOOOO much!
