Day 29

In my opinion Billee has been responding well to the MAPS games and exercises so far.
She has started to be a lot more aware of her hands and looks at them alot. She also moves them whilst looking at them but not in a controlled manner yet.
She is improving all the time with her rolling and practices almost every time she is on the floor.
I also feel that verbally she is really trying too.

I have been making videos of us doing the exercices and sent them to Claudie for her feed back which has been a fantastic help.
She said Billee's reaction to the water game was very powerful. She was also able to give me some advice on how to perform the game which was a great help.
She thought Billee's response to the vision exercise was also spot on as she is able to look at the art work and then briefly look at the lady bug at the top of the page.

I am very pleased and encouraged by Claudie's comments and observations.

She also said she is right on track for any developments. Firstly with her head control and hands and then with her movement.

I will speak to Claudie on Wednesday of next week and this is when she will give us new exercises that will hopefully continue Billee's progress.

Also I googled 'brain plasticity' and found lots of very interesting reading basically echoing what Claudie has already told us about how the brain can repair itself.

Why don't any of the nurologists tell us this??
They obviously know about it as its been known and written about for about 70 years!!
