colds and kinesio taping

We were supposed to take Kamdyn to the eye doctor tomorrow morning, and then go to lunch with a good friend.  But Kamdyn has a pretty nasty cold and a fever, so I think we are going to cancel our plans and just take her to the pediatrician.  I'm pretty sure she has an ear infection.  I have a feeling that tubes will be in her future.  We've been through it before with Austin, so I know it's no big deal.



Tomorrow morning is our occupational therapy day too.  I actually really enjoy therapy.  I love all three ladies who come to our house.  I don't know if they know that they aren't just therapists for the babies, but it's therapy for the moms too.  They give me someone to bounce ideas off, get advice, encouragement, just someone to talk to.

Kamdyn is scheduled to have kinesio taping done in the morning.  I'll have to let you know more about it after tomorrow (if she's feeling up to therapy).  But from what I understand, it's a special tape, that is soft and very flexible.  It will be applied on her stomach and back in an effort to stimulate her abdominal muscles and encourage her to sit up.  It will stay on for a few days before it falls off.  I know she's not going to sit up immediately, but I have been told that it just gives a little extra push.  We'll see.

Here is the best therapist Kamdyn could ever have:
