- Today Emma's VitalStim therapy was cranked up to level 10 (this is significantly higher than it had been, but I don't know at what level it maxes out), and she DIDN'T CRY about it.
- Emma's sleep specialist informed us on Monday that we have to start Emma on strict behavioral sleep training. This involves Emma being awake, laying her in her crib at 9pm, putting the BiPAP mask on, and leaving her. Yeah. Right.
- We have a strict schedule to follow with Emma's sleep training, with varying minutes of leaving her and coming in to comfort her.
- So far, we have not followed the schedule. Because she hasn't needed it :) Girlfriend is sleeping like a champ. We've only done it for one whole night now; night #2 is successful thus far.
- Tomorrow the sleep training applies to naps. Yikes.
- Emma's choking has gotten better (well, less frequent...severity is the same), but it hasn't gone away. We are hoping the VitalStim is slowly but surely taking care of this.
- She still refuses to wear her glasses. With gusto. And her eyes look terrible at times.
- Emma's knee immobilizers came in, so tomorrow at therapy, we'll see how she does with these little contraptions that force her knees to straighten so that we can start to teach her how to stand.
