The naps Laelia has tricked her daddy into
Laelia has amyoplasia (weak and missing muscle), and an overall diagnosis of arthrogryposis (stiff joints or joint contractures). Laelia has two daily activities that are part of her treatment at home: stretches for the stiff joints and weight bearing (on her knees in our laps) to gain muscle. Laelia’s daddy will often help with Laelia’s therapy. And although I hate to tattle on them, sometimes when I go to check up on them, I find this:
Here’s the weight-bearing-on-our-knees nap.
And this one is the we’re-going-upstairs-to-do-stretches nap.
