Katie's Progress

I have so much to talk about but it might have to wait another day! In the meantime...

As long as I have my furry vest on it's all good.

Amy: Katie was diagnosed with hypotonia at age 1, which is basically weak muscles, not really a true "diagnosis". We have no idea why she has this, but it delays her in many areas such as crawling, sitting, walking, talking, and fine motor skills. Katie is now 10 years old and she started walking about 4 years ago but still unsteady. Her coordination and balance are something we are constantly working on. She did wear glasses from ages 2-4 and then her vision improved and she doesn't need them anymore, which is so great! Getting glasses on her was not easy - had to come from behind and put them over her head that way. It's nice not to have to worry about getting the glasses on her any more! Katie can totally understand what you say, nods her head for "yes", has a few signs (for "more" and "me") but still is not able to talk much at all. Maybe a few words. Katie is a work in progress!
