Impressed

I am very happy with the airfryer. Asmara loves fish chips and it's high in protein but we worry about the oil needed to fry them. And alhamdulillah now I can really be happy with her enjoying one of the very few food she eats. My job is to find and buy quality raw fish chips, and cook them at 200C for two minutes, sans the normal mess of frying! Alhamdulillah.

My attempt to make fresh sweet potato chips didn't go well. OK I will try again with consistent thickness of the slices and less amount in each frying :-p

I am also excited to try out homemade dishes especially "baked" kinds now that we can pretend to have a small oven with faster cooking time and less electricity usage. The kids helped me make banana cake last weekend. It was fun at least. Although it was dry, the kids still love eating it alhamdulillah :-) Next is carrot cake, hopefully? InshaAllah.

I need to add more fruits and vegetables in our diets.. that the kids would actually eat. May Allah help us.

Alhamdulillah.

Sensory Integration Therapy

That's the end of joint compressions, a part of the Wilbarger Protocol of brushing her limbs and back. I need to do this to Asmara every two waking hours for a month, which I am unable to commit at this point. I believe she needs this to overcome her sensory integration disorder. I think resolving this problem would automatically improve her other symptoms such as balancing and coordination (gross motor), oral defensiveness, and anxiety.

I had been looking for weekend sessions for her. Looking at the rate I am taking leave so far this year, I am afraid I will run out of leave even before the middle of the year. And that is really unsustainable.

It has been a great relief for me to find this therapy center.
- It's open on weekends and most Public Holidays. And Asmara gets a slot!
- It also offers Speech Therapy. And Asmara gets back-to-back sessions.
- It has competitive pricing. It's half of what we are paying for previously.
- The therapists are highly qualified, with PhD / BSc and relevant experience. They speak English well and they are passionate!
- It's not far from our place
- The parking is much cheaper and closer

The place is humble, which explains the costing. I hope we get more out of it.

May Allah show us the way.
