Therapy...Definitely Takes a Family.

Therapies fill Savannah Faith's weeks.

Occupational Therapy
 
Speech Therapy
 
Pre-school Therapy 
 
Physical Therapy
 
and soon,
 
  Feeding Therapy will be added to the list.

Thankfully she LOVES her therapists.

One of her favorites is Nikki Degner at Move and Grow in Huntersville, NC.  Nikki has stuck with our family through our last four adoptions.  Not sure what we would have done without her expertise. 

Nikki knows the perfect combination to use with our girls...push, plead and just plain old demand.  And she has my FULL support.

When Savannah makes it to top of the ladder, she's sure she should be Queen of the Day!  That's before the terror of descent down the slide.



But everything is better when she gets her "prize time" in the ball pit.  What is it about brightly covered balls in a pit with possible unknown matter lurking at the bottom that so intrigues children?  The allure always baffles me.





Thankfully many of Savannah's therapy sessions take place at home.  However, Lily Rose still needs speech therapy two days a week, outside the home, along with Savannah Faith's PT and upcoming feeding therapy.

all help with transporting, as their schedules allow.  It truly takes the entire family to meet the demands of our girls with their multiple medical appointments and therapies.  The Lord knew exactly what He was doing when He called ALL of us to this crazy family of nine!
