Jun. 27th, 2008 09:34 amMan, the air is awful here in Atlanta - we've had code red smog alerts.. Everyone (except Katie) has an awful cough right now. I think the 9 day long migraine I'm on has something to do with it. I'm quite over it. (I generally don't talk about the migraines, because it's boring to talk about and boring for you all to read about.)
This is the first month where I'm scared that I'm going to run out of migraine meds before I can get my refill. It's freaking me out. I'm currently finishing up a course of prednisone to break this migraine cycle (which is failing utterly) and the neurologist called in some muscle relaxers. I'm not sure how that's going to work. I don't feel comfortable taking them until the afternoon when I can be sure I won't have to go out until Tom gets home.
Anyways... Amelia's swim lessons didn't turn out as well as we hoped. She was fine as long as she could feel the bottom of the pool, but holding onto the side of the pool was too scary (no sensory input on the bottom of her feet). We tried doing deep compression on her body before lessons and having the coaches hold her between her turns kicking and blowing bubbles in the water. She'd still get scared during her turns. So we'll just take some time taking her to the Y or the Roswell Park pool and getting her used to being in the pool more and more. Then we'll try group lessons again later or budget for private lessons. Life in SPD-land.
