I am excited to say that I often have to remind mysef that Piper was born preemie. This is a good thing. However as her advocate. I must remember that I am not an expert in child development. The therapist who I now also refer to as Lorna. Is a godsend. I am thankful that I am not the only one that is tracking Piper's progress. Lorna truely cares. We had Piper's anual Individualized Education Plan review at the end of April. Piper is tracking between 11-14 month on everything which is good because she was 12 months adjusted age. But in three months they stop adjusting. Right now she is 15 months old and without adjustment that would mean she was delayed in every area.
Her biggest issues are sensory processing disorder (sensory seeking) and toticollis. Her low muscle tone is minor at this point, but could reimerge as she develops. I am worried about her social development moving forward, being a sensory seeking person is not very feminine. It is kind of absurde to worry about whether or not my 15 month old will be a tomoy but I am a mom with anxiety issues I worry :) I am hoping that she will be able to sit in circle time or a classroom and listen when the other kids do and not climb the bookshelves instead.
