Hi everyone.
I tried to post a reply yesterday, but it appears to have gotten lost in cyberspace. I thank you all for your kind responses. I was at a low moment and it helped to hear the reassurances. I know that I am trying to do all that is possible, but I feel like I should be doing more! Other than the stretching and massage (which seems to cause her pain) I think the problem is her age. At 19 months old, she wants to move around toy to toy instead of finishing with one game or activity before we go to another one. She is testing the limits - and we are trying very hard not to give in. It just makes it so stressful!
We are trying Kinesio taping now, and possibly e-stim if certain muscles don't start firing on their own. I just felt so tired the other day, and it helped to know that I have support.
Thanks so much!
Eve
