Penny's Evaluation

Today was Penny's evaluation to see if she would qualify for any physical therapy. We sort of thought she would based on what her pediatrician told us. So we loaded up in the car and off we went. All of the sudden Penny just started crying. She never cries in her carseat so we were freaking out a little. We even pulled over, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. We get to the place and she settles down a little. Then, the evaluation starts. She is screaming her head off. And to make it worse the OT is making her do stuff she doesn't want to do like be on her knees and tummy and roll over. Snot is dripping everywhere and she is unconsolable. Long story short, after all the crying and screaming she has qualified for physical therapy for gross motor. She will start in a few weeks and the goal is for her to be walking or a least cruising in hopefully 6 months! And after all the crying, she was perfectly happy and content as soon as we left to go home!!
