[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she's cognitively like a 6 yr old then couldn't you guys do a lot of the same crafts, games, songs, stories etc together? [/quote] Part of her OT/PT involves doing a lot crafts and games a preschooler would play. She doesn't have great control over her hands so often you have to really really help her hold a card or roll the dice. The OT said she may be able to regain more control as time goes on, because it's not muscle weakness but the "circuits" cutting in and out...like someone with Parkinsons would...however she doesn't shake that much. Just when one body party is really focusing. She also gets EXTREMELY frustrated very easily, DB said sometimes he thinks tiny glimpses of her old self come through and she realizes who she is and get's upset. We all try to work together, but I don't know how to compromise making sure MB get's what she needs and not overwhelming the four-year-old. [/quote]
