PBMT - Day 134
Today followed the exact same schedule as yesterday's except Adrian got waken up a lot earlier (at 6am). We wanted to adjust Adrian's schedule so that he could have breakfast/lunch early and go straight to nap by noon. Reason being he'd have his first Occupational & Speech Therapy appointment (2 in 1) at 14:45 which falls right on his usual nap time. The schedule seemed to work well with Adrian and we got to DK on time for the appointments. Unfortunately, the appointment didn't turn out as fruitful as we'd expected. First, Adrian was too shy that he lowered his head most of the time and the therapists can't really see his mouth not to mention see him eating or talking even in his own baby language (partly because the therapists didn't get into playing with him in the first place and got right into the points when started). Second, the consultation time for the two therapists lasted only 45 mins and the Speech Therapist barely offered any advice as he kept typing on the computer. The OT spoke most of the time and in the end, she suggested a few exercises that we could practice with Adrian at home. We were asked to videotape the way Adrian eats and speaks at home and show them the video on our next appointment which will be in 2 months' time!!! Well, guess we should not expect too much from our next appointment and meanwhile we'd still keep the private ST with Caritas and hopefully that one would yield a better outcome.
