Today, my early intervention coordinator also attended the appointment along with Mira's therapist so we could fill out a questionnaire to monitor her progress. After the questionnaire, it was time to do Mira's therapy. Two stretches in, she started doing the "pain cry" so her therapist thought we should give her a break. This cry usually means gas bubbles, so I was working on getting gas out of her and changing her position for about ten minutes when her therapist thought it might be a good idea to just skip therapy for the day. He said he'll give her a get out of therapy free card because he doesn't want to make her work when she's not feeling well. So I continued to hold and soothe her while we set up next weeks appointment, and then our visitors left.
Roughly 20 seconds after they closed the door upon their exit, Mira stopped crying and was all smiles. I think she conned us. I think she metaphorically put her foot down! I think that this week, she drew the line at the harness and refused to partake in her hour therapy session where she has to work. And once again, I can't say I blame her! My beautiful little miracle, and con artist, has had enough for this week. I guess we'll see how she feels next week!
