Guess who this is?
On Friday Sarah got out of the pool and began to cry. She was very upset. Why? She was frustrated because she wanted to swim and she just wasn't able to. (my heart was just breaking for her) I reminded her it might be easier to try swimming underwater. She had practiced holding her breath underwater and holding the side as she swam. So I knew she could if she could get the left side of her body under control. That is the side of her body she has the apraxia. I know when she puts her mind to it she can. I was also holding her tummy and having her bring her legs up and she would practice kicking. She discovered she could do that by herself with the noodle. So this sweet girl practiced and practiced every time she was in the pool. Everyday last week I watched her practice. Saturday I went to lunch with a friend. DH told me they only swam for 45 minutes. On Sunday she got in the pool and just started swimming!
Brought me to tears.
Check this girl out..... already jumping in!!!
Sarah, you amaze us!
We are so proud of you!
Nothing is going to hold you back!
*Tears* Oh I am so excited and happy for her! I KNOW how hard she must have worked to be able to swim. She will only continue to get strong and swimming is a great therapy! :)
