Once upon a time, Zoe was comfortable climbing ladders all by herself. At the park in Jerusalem, there was a natural rock wall that was about 20 feet high and Zoe would climb it alone. This all changed about six months ago, when she became blind in her right eye. She began to want someone to help her go up and down stairs, needed help at the playground to climb the ladder for the slide, etc... We had talked about beginning physical therapy earlier in the year, but Zoe just didn't have the energy. She has been feeling much better since being in Utah, so we started therapy about two weeks ago... I couldn't be happier with the way it's going. The therapist is fabulous and works so well with Zoe. The best part is she comes to the house for therapy. Zoe made major improvements in just two weeks. She will go up and down a ladder by herself and walk on the balance beam. She still has trouble going down stairs, but we'll keep working on it.
I am a firm believer in physical therapy--those therapists can work miracles! I'm so glad it is helping her. Think about you often and look forward to baby 2 coming!
