Pool time!!!

Darby did great for her swim session yesterday! She made momma very proud:) She had lots of fun with the ball and I made sure to give her endless praise and encouragement. The approach for Darby was to make it as fun as possible and to boost her confidence by setting her up to succeed. I found out very quickly with her, that the calm/slow/cradle in the water approach was not the right fit for her. Some need slow and steady, while others require a confident therapist to show them how much fun swimming can be! I'm so glad Darby was able to burn off some energy and lift up her spirits because tomorrow is surgery #2. Please send us your best wishes for a speedy recovery!!:)
