She was a little upset this morning when they first put on the cast. Despite being a little upset in the beginning, she went on to have a really good first day of 3 hour therapy. They even had a Wiggles book that she really liked. Her therapist were pleased with her efforts and so was I. She worked really hard. She will have OT and PT sessions during the 3 hours.
Her goals will be:
-Grab/pick up an item
-Release an item
-Use two hands to look at books and to play with other toys
-Use two hands to lift something like a large ball
The hardest part so far has been eating. With the cast on she needs help and she isn't very happy about that since she is so independent. She also keeps looking at the cast a little confused. I just keep telling her it has to stay on.
It is simply amazing.....cast (or whatever challenge) your girls are usually smiling. They are poster girls for "you do what you have to"! Good luck Melanie & Dan. Prayers continue. My church friends still ask about your girls. I still send some of the pics by email to those who are praying. Thanks for the update.
