We are working on the premise that when Chloe raises her left arm over her head to stretch she does not get nerve pain on the left side of her head but if she raises her left arm with any twisting or rotation or lifting of objects she gets shooting pain in the left side of her head.
Today we went to target Chloe pushed the cart, put items on the belt at the check out and put bagged items in the trunk. She was using both arms and did complain of left side pain at home. She was lifting about 5 pounds and swing the bag into the trunk. Next time we will use only right for any lifting or twisting. With her becoming more interactive with her world we are getting more information.
Chloe's hearing appears to be visual issue too. Now wearing ear plugs she is able to identify a baby crying, someone laughing or clapping around her but she still may cover her ears if she sees them. I would have to remind her that she is wearing ear plugs. The tinnitus in her right ear probably becomes louder with these type of noises. She may need to wear an ear plug in her right ear to prevent that from happening in the future. She now wears two earplugs to help her see the difference.
With the medication to improve her focusing, she is now able to understand right and wrong answers. If she gets to many wrong answers she will have to repeat the exercise. She is doing math, geography, Spanish and typing independently and with little redirection but tries to get over 70% correct so she does not have to repeat the assignment.
With proper medication Chloe's life is more confident and she is attempting to do more thing
