Off to OT tomorrow AM

Wow, its been so chaotic around here with appointments and school, and life with 3 little ones in general. A friend's blog put it into perspective. She mentioned that they went a whole week without any doctor visits. It made me think, when was the last time we went a week without any appointments? I am not even sure. I thought maybe this week, but now we've loaded up on OT tomorrow for Savannah, ST for Bella Wednesday, and another doctor appointment Friday, on top of my school on Tuesday (BIG TEST) and Thursday + the girl's class on Friday morning. The week after is 2 more doctor appointments I believe.

So, back to Savannah and the OT. Anyone who has been around her for more than an hour or walked with her anywhere has noticed/commented on her motor skills. She constantly falls, runs into things, falls into things, clips things, or has issues going down the steps. We can't walk from the car, through the clinic building, to the pediatricians office without her falling over her own feet and crying at least twice. A few of the neighbors have jokingly referred to her as "kamikaze" because every time she comes running she injures herself. We kind of took the wait and see approach thinking it was maybe just toddler hood. Then the school district did an overall eval when she was in speech therapy, and she scored low on gross motor skills. She was having issues with steps too. I thought it was maybe due to her eyes getting worse b/c she has some astigmatism. I knew she was due to see the pediatric eye doc this last October, so we just kind of sat on it. Turns out her eyes were the same. Fast forward to her 3 yr checkup in Feb. I now decided to raise the concern because she is starting to get injured as a result. She has dead front tooth (which is suspiciously turning back to white:)) as a result and is constantly injuring her face from falls. Her doc thinks it could be weak core muscle issue so she referred us for eval and treatment. I hope it helps her or she may be missing all her teeth by age 4. :0
