Mary came this morning at 8:30am since she couldn't come for her regular session yesterday afternoon. I don't know if it was because she was here at a different time slot or what, but Raquel was just doing her own thing. She was very happy and laughing, and giving her hugs and kisses, but really wasn't very interested in participating - in anything. This was the strangest speech session I've ever watched. And for some reason, Mary's three bags of toys were beyond distracting. So distracting that Mary said she's not bringing any of them next week!
Jennifer came at her regular time and Raquel was talking up a storm and very cooperative. She'll be moving on in prompt levels tomorrow. Typically she sleeps right after Jennifer leaves, but not today. She was wide awake and refused to nap, which was unfortunate because the replacement physical therapist, Jan, came to do her evaluation.
Let's just say the evaluation didn't go so well. Raquel was very irritatable from being so overly tired and we were not able to even have much of a session. Raquel went to sleep (for 2 1/2 hours!) and then I just ended up answering a bunch of questions. Jan has to turn paperwork in to Regional as well as Raquel's pediatrician. Her first session is scheduled next Friday - at the park we used to go to with Trish. I am very happy about this. Jan says that with kids Raquel's age, she prefers that the therapy takes place in a natural setting, and not in a home environment. I agree 100%. Jan seems really nice and I'm looking forward to working with her next week.
