Ella Update

Okay, so I know you all love pictures, but here are some updates on our Ella Bella. She is working on walking and standing EVERY day...she has a rough time holding her top half up while she uses her bottom half...we'll get them both stronger. One way we are going to work on this is by putting her in Hippotherapy...no, she will not be riding a hippo. She is going to be riding horses. How cute will that be. You know I'm going to have to purchase her some adorable horse-riding outfits. We are visiting Equest on Thursday...I'm so excited!! It's all going to be out-of-pocket so we need to make sure it's the best use of our money. Mainly because we might possibly be combining it with a new method of therapy call Conductive Education. We are hoping to get into a 4-week summer program with A Child Can Do All Things. Again, this is out-of-pocket and not covered on insurance so we just need to visit both of these places (we visit ACCDAT next week).

I'm really excited about both of these new therapies. Ella will continue with our amazing therapies at Our Children's House, except for the possible 4 weeks at ACCDAT. We will no longer be doing therapy with ECI once Ella turns 3-years-old, and will be getting signed up to take part in the PPCD program with Richardson Independent School District...GREAT opportunity.

I think that's it for now...we'll update you as we get more information and make more decisions.

Hi Andrea! I haven't met you, but I am Jennifer Bossen's sister in law, Heather. I found your blog through Stephanie Poage's and it is amazing. I actually work for ECI in Temple, TX and have loved reading about the amazing work you are doing with Ella! It looks like she has made so much progress and you will LOVE the hippotherapy and the PPCD program. Can't wait to hear more about them! ~Heather Bossen
