Well, I'm at home today and it's been a crazy couple of weeks. Spent all but one of the last eleven days at Children's with Mal so today we are going to stay home I think unless we decide to drive up tonight. Mal is making some progress in sensation especially. She is moving her wrists a lot better, moving her shoulders and lifting her arms better. Yesterday her basketball coach, Coach Flowers, came by and she joked with him about the funny way she waves now...a floppy hand wave. It was pretty funny and so refreshing that she can laugh about it. She has such a great attitude. I don't know if as an adult I could hold up so well if I were in her place. This morning she began having sensation in her armpit area which is a lower nerve on the spinal cord so that means more progress! She has some sensation in both legs with more in the right leg but slowly it seems to be coming in her left leg which is awesome! As of yet, she hasn't had any lower body movement but her arms have improved so much and are actually ahead of where she should be in rehab already! She got to get out in her chair the last couple days so she can get out of her room which I think helps keep her spirits up. She really enjoys visitors!! It has been great how many people have taken the time to come see her.
On a different note, due to the accident with Mallory, I did not go to Kidz Kamp this year. I really missed going, but Gracen decided to go on without me and had a great time! I really missed her while she was gone! Sydney was there and she has came home to spend the weekend with us. She is doing well with all of this so far. I think Kidz Kamp was good for her. I will post some pictures of KK when I get them from Judy who went.
