Re-eval Update

I was ready to call it quits, especially since we haven't done any NR since May. Bette didn't give us the official release, and I accepted it. She gave us some simple exercises that will hopefully accelerate her vision therapy. We agreed to do it along with our vision exercises. I am about to admit something very revealing. I had this realization the other day after my appt with Bette, and what a testimony to NR it is. I have been very compliant with everything we've been prescribed by Bette, EXCEPT- the two things she still identified as deficits. Bette was surprised what we have done didn't correct her eyes. Vestibular exercises are the most important for that. They are also the easiest. Guess who though we could just get by with normal everyday vestibular as being adequate? I never concentrated on them or did them regularly. The other area where we aren't 100% is proprioceptive. S is still a little 'off' with knowing where she was touched when her eyes are closed. Again, the only other area I neglected, thinking everyday contact was enough. I have to fess up to Bette. I feel horrible, I failed again! The good news is that we have done enough work that we could stop if we needed to. Bette is the perfectionist I seldom have the energy for anymore. I used to be one, but my kids successfully remedied that. She knows we can get it perfectly and wants us to persevere. I will do it, I just wish I realized the importance of doing it when I was supposed to. I thought it was 'extra' work that could only make things better. We saw a SLP for feeding and it went really well. S allowed a foreign object far back in her mouth. The SLP actually listened to me and did what I asked of her. She saw the results of trusting me and was encouraged. I don't think she has ever worked with anyone quite like S. No surprise there, no one else has either! She has a plan and it sounds like we can make a lot of progress. I am encouraged and overwhelmed. I have gone to no mail on the NN group, I can't handle the garbage and childishness. I wish someone would just tell the emperor he has no clothes! It's obvious it has nothing to do with the AD policy, why are they perpetuating it? Most of the moms on there are way to smart to believe what they are trying to pass off an an excuse. I have better uses of my time, so I will not be on that group anymore.
