Those wobbly legs

Abby finally had her OT evaluation today.  The OT said she will be observing Abby some more due to concerns with her muscle tone.

I feel terrible that this whole time I thought Abby was lazy.  The dragging of the feet - the not sitting up straight - the constant crying during her dance classes - "Its too hard Mama".  I was prepared for the sensory concerns.  But I was not prepared to hear about concerns regarding Abby's physical being.  She has always been an active healthy kid.  A mellow kid compared to her brother but still energetic.

As I type this I see her laying down instead of sitting, her limbs just as lax as can be.  Is this just because she is relaxed?  Or is this her problem with muscle tone?  How can I help??  What can I do to help her?  So many questions are gathered in this concern.  So many questions that must wait until net week to be answered.

Another bump in our journey with Apraxia.
