It's been a rough week over here.

Our whole family had COVID for a second time, which means Graciana has had no therapy for the last week. Skipping therapy has really confirmed that all of her therapy actually helps her in several ways.

She hasn't wanted to "walk" with us holding her hands, which makes me think she feels like her legs are a little weaker without going to PT. She also has more difficulty sleeping when she hasn't gone to therapy. I think it's a mix of being less tired at night, and also her being less regulated with her sensory issues.

This means she wakes up screaming with night terrors more often. It's hard to explain what it's like, but her eyes are open and she looks awake but is still asleep like someone who is sleep-walking would be. We were told it's not good to wake her in that state, so we try to just hold her and calm her down, but it can be really challenging when she's resisting this and fighting us the whole time.

The other night was especially bad. As I was trying to hold her she threw her head back (which is something she does when she's really upset) to "fight me off" her and she hit me so hard she broke my nose. This is the second time my nose has been broken by one of my kids, so I am hoping that when it heals maybe she will have knocked it back into place...I doubt it though! LOL.

We are getting a little better, so hopefully, she can go back to therapy soon, and that will help her regulate and sleep better! Thanks to all who have prayed for us to get better!
