Tuesday Toot- Therapy is Tough!

Filed Under Difficult Stuff, Memes, O.T., Two Years Old | 4 Comments

I have been taking Bailey to see an occupational therapist for over two months now. Her eating has improved SO much. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, though. It’s a time commitment: Twice a week I drive about 20-25 minutes each way to get to her therapist’s office, wait 45 minutes for her appointment, listen to her cry in the other room… It takes time away from “fun” activities that we could be doing and also interrupts our schedule. It costs a stinkin lot of money. Today I even initiated a difficult conversation with our therapist and got some answers to questions I had. But I do it because I love Bailey. I want her to get better and to be able to eat normally, play and focus on “normal” activities, etc.

I think as moms we can be hard on ourselves. Take time to think about something that you have accomplished lately. It’s not bragging; we just need to acknowledge our hard work and it’s good to feel good about it! To read about what other moms have done, visit Mommy Community.

    So glad the OT is going well. It must be very difficult hearing her cry. :( But, you are sooo right… it will help her so much in the long run. You definitely deserve a Tuesday Toot… it is so clear what a wonderful Mama you are! :)

    You are doing an amazing job. Mamas are often the last to get recognized because only we see the behind the scenes. Even though sacrifices are worth it – 100%, without a doubt – they are still sacrifices. It’s why girlfriends are so important – only we can recognize what it really takes.

    You my friend are awesome, the dedication to your family is like none other. Even in the “little” things that are not so little.
