On the very recent appointment with Lela’s physiotherapist she stated that we do not have to further proceed with Vojta exercises. Currently Lela’s tension in her legs are so minimal that our physiotherapist almost spoke of a normal state.
Of course we have to observe it and in case the tensions get more again we have to start over, but currently it is a true relief that there is no need to proceed with Vojta.
Well, another little piece in the big puzzle is done :)
Also I should mention that Lela is doing pretty well. She recently started to discover items and examines everything briefly with her mouth. Furthermore I wouldn’t lie if I’d say that I recently heard her replying “Hello” when I was talking to her. Another great thing to see is the development of her eyes. A few months back she wasn’t able to react to the brightest light, … now she blinks when the camera’s flashlight is activated and follows her favorite big ball with the eyes when someone is waving it over her head. Just as I mentioned above … even if there are just one or two new pieces of the big puzzle every week or moths … they are all needed to make it complete!
Last but not least I might want to add that those Vojta exercises are by far not the very smoothest exercises you could practice with a child, but in the end it helped so much. We could literally watch Lela’s tension getting better week by week.
If you’d like to more about that, feel free to visit the offical Vojta website.
