Doing well

When I announce to Anna that it is "time for therapy" she replies most days with, "Yeah!" Often that is followed by running to her place on the couch and attempting to scramble up on her own. Then I ask her if she wants books or puzzles, or perhaps we will play with a toy together for the first 20 minutes of her breathing treatment. All other children are on their own during that time and I try to give her all of my attention. She loves to read books. We also do finger plays and songs. When the breathing treatment is over, it is time for the vest therapy- and with that comes a video. (I often wonder if that isn't where the initial "yeah!" comes from when I tell her it is time for therapy-a.k.a "time for a video" in her little mind!) She sits alone sometimes, but more often Luke is right there by her and if they can manage it, the bigger kids watch the "made for toddler" video as well! When the timer goes off on the vest 20 minutes later (now a full 50 minutes of therapy) she again says, "Yeah!" I unhook her from the vest and she glady watches the end of the video.  We repeat this entire process in the afternoon or early evening for a 30 minute therapy session.

She has been doing so well that I have been considering contacting the doctor to see if she can go back down to one therapy session a day. But then as soon as I think I am actually going to contact him, I hear her cough a little.  And then I doubt and pause and don't make the phone call after all...
