Ella is doing very well, with a little progress every day. She is eating like a horse, except for yesterday when Yvette reported that she was very cranky and seemed to have an upset stomach. She is getting heavy to the point where I’m feeling some strain on my back. She is biting and chewing cookies and crackers, plus now she has a new table, courtesy of the Perkins School for the Blind workshop. We’ve been waiting for the table for about a month and a half since Barbara (vision therapist) took measurements for it. Ella looks like a little lawyer or at least like she is ready for school work, when sitting at it. Cognitively Ella seems to be closing the delay gap, however, her gross motor skills are still very far behind. She still gets upset when forced (in therapy) to bear weight on her arms.
