Morgan had a busy day today! This morning Gillette's had an event by Reese's with the NCAA All-Star basketball team, Miss Minnesota, mascots, etc. all here visiting the kids so she had fun participating in those activities and getting autographs and pictures before therapy! She was SO excited for her first pool therapy and already doing great standing and walking in the water with little assistance. The therapy pool is very cool, the floor lowers/raises and as you can see in the pic there are cameras to watch her walking patterns. She still wants to toe walk on that right foot (which apparently is very common) and they are retraining her brain on this. She got her new right foot AFO fitted and finished today also, again pink with a unicorn on the back. They increased her afternoon PT session to an hour also so she had 2 hours of PT today and one hour of OT and spent some time riding around in the adaptive trike again. We will get this tomorrow night to use in the evenings and weekends- add another apparatus to the daily routine! I spoke to her therapist about the goals for the next couple of weeks and next step is to get her walking with a reverse walker like she used to have and continue to work on unassisted transitioning to get her self reliant. She is very pleased with how well Morgan is doing and how quickly she is building her strength back. The bath is still broken so had to make do with the shower after pool therapy and she actually handled this pretty well. We spent the evening playing BINGO with child life and she is very tired.
Greetings and Blessings from the Dagers, Morgan!
