We recently had to make a trip to UNC to visit with Sydney's physical therapist. Sydney very quickly figured out how to remove her hand splint that the PT made for her during our last visit not long before. The goal is for Sydney to only wear the splint during sleep time, thus allowing her to use her hand freely while awake. But what else does she have to do in the crib than to rip the splint off? The PT even gave us an Ace bandage to wrap around her hand and arm, which was equally as easy for her to get off.
During the last visit, the PT created a contraption that should be Sydney-proof. It involves another splint that goes on top of her hand, with her original splint attached to a bottom splint as well. We're talking three splints now. Along with the splints, there is also an exorbitant amount of Velcro and elastic wrap to secure it to her arm and hand.
If she figures out how to remove this contraption, I think an apt nickname will be Houdini!
