Is Lola sitting on a potty training thing or is it just a high chair?
It appears to be a Bumbo seat, a product intended for babies who are old enough to hold their heads up but too young to sit without falling over. Albeit one suspects any seat in which poor Lola is placed becomes a de facto potty seat.
 
I feel sorry for the vision specialist and occupational therapist. They can't have much job satisfaction working with this family.

Vision specialists? Occupational therapists? Our tax dollars, hard at work.

The kids should be clean, comfortable, and get enough physical therapy to prevent further atrophy. That's it. They don't need every kind of therapist or tool. They are expensive and should be used on a child who can benefit.

I gotta hand it to Gwen though, she knows how to work the system.

For sure, a seizure. Gwen has her in a beanbag chair where she has to have her head held up? What are they even doing?

That might be the most delusional thing Gwen has ever posted.

I had to watch it because "most delusional thing Gwen has ever posted" is a high high bar. It cracked me up that she had them "watching" a show on the atmosphere and space travel (calling it "space school"). Leave it to Gwen to put on some science show for intelligent children as if it's the least bit appropriate, it's not physical/occupational therapy she's having them do it's pure theater for her followers.

It did make me think that the potatoes could have some role in the space program. Instead of sending monkey or dogs on test runs, they should send the hartley potatoes! Since all they need to do is monitor vital signs and it would be much kinder than using animals who can feel terror and pain. Maybe it would make up for all tax dollars that have been flushed down the toilet for "therapy" on these two.
 
These poor things though. I assume death can't be too long for them, especially Lola. Funny how they're apparently miracles, yet my hubby was apparently the product of demonic possession and witchcraft and a family curse 300+ years ago. Amazing how the church changes their opinions on the profoundly disabled to suit the times. Suppose there's a reason I'm a witch then.

Just to share this point again, the girls are not experiencing atrophy. They are experiencing hypertonia that is a direct result of their devastated neurological and metabolic systems. They are not experiencing muscle loss due to under use - just the opposite. Their muscles are strained to the breaking point every moment of every day. It is an act of cruel futility, putting a child with ASD through physical therapy.

In the early days Gwen didn't know this but she does now and keeps the girls in therapy she knows will do no good. The condition they have is relatively unknown so it's not like some state bureaucrat is going to challenge the legitimacy of therapy for children this severely disabled. They can receive daily PT from the best minds in rehab and it would make no difference. The girls need muscle relaxers but Gwen will never let that happen. No physical therapy in the world can help these two girls and Gwen's motives are unclear to me but she knows good and well that PT is useless for either girl.

Thanks. I knew atrophy wasn't right but it was the only word that came to me. Rigidity would have been better.

What I didn't know was that PT wouldn't help. That's sad, because if muscle relaxers are the only thing that can soften those muscles and ease the pain, we know they'll never get them. She'll try crystals or oil of rosemary or anything but effective medication.

I think we do know the reason though-like was said above, it's a theater. One that Gwen continues even when she's alone. In her mind, they are normal kids she's communicating with inside those broken brains and bodies, kids who like space and science and who shouldn't take drugs.

da fuck did i just read?
 
Gwen's motives are unclear to me...

Gwen's motives seem to begin and end with Gwen. How it's going to effect Gwen and Gwen's existence and how it impacts the world's view of her. Even if it's only in her mind or that of the comments on her facebook.

The mermaid event and this specific blog post always summed Gwen's motives up for me. The one where she tard rages at the Knights of Columbus worker who had the vest on raising money for speds and where she chimped out at Cal over him saying something she didn't like and took glee in the fact he was crying and upset so much so that she continued to chimp at him shit like "HOW DARE YOU" whilst he's bawling.
She's a cunt. A self serving cunt and those repulsive money wasting potatoes are an extension of her - they're her leverage to make sure the spotlights on her 24/7. PT means people around, people fussing around her, attention on her. She'd never give that up regardless of if it hurts the potatoes or not. If she can continue to yell at Cal whilst he's crying and saying he's dumb and instead of comfort him, makes it about how shit has effected her, then she sure as fuck isn't going to care about 2 non speaking vegetables who's sole purpose is to act as attention beacons for her.
 
I tend to ignore the parents. I'm more fascinated by the freak show aspects of all this. We don't get the benefit of a true and horrifying circus experience any more. Cirque du Solier has co-opted that from us and turned it into soft core bisexual porn accompanied by Enya music. No thanks. But at least the internet can still be our big top.
