Blondie had OT and PT today. I missed PT again because of errands, but OT had her jumping through hoops.... literally. We're working on several things here, 1 - squeezing the hand and turning the hoop, 2 - if the hand falls off she needs to open the hand "normally" (not with her "good" hand) and then place it back on the hoop. It is sort of obvious in the video, and those of you who are doing this too can celebrate, because she DOES open her hand -sort of - and get a couple fingers back on.
The next video shows her rubbing her nose to turn her hand over. We don't know why it works, it has some sort of technical term, but I'm all for using it in case she can plug the ability to make it work into her brain and then eventually do it without rubbing the nose. The first time, she cheated and used her leg to help turn over her hand. The second one you can see what we're talking about. To hold that hand by itself you can feel it fight you to turn the "wrong" way, and then it will eventually release.
