Relaxing at home

Sarah has been doing well walking with a cane. She has only taken a few spills. She is determined to do whatever she wants, so we have to keep a good eye on her. We are enjoying being all together at home again. Sarah has enjoyed a couple of days off of therapy, but will be back at it next week. Miley has been busy chewing on everybody’s feet and shoes.

Her outpatient therapy is going to be at The Drake Center. Cincinnati Children’s has therapists there that are experienced with neurological injuries. We wanted to do her therapy at Cincinnati Children’s new Liberty Campus, but they are not completely set up yet and we were told that they will be mostly set up for sports injuries. Sarah had her evaluation at the Drake Center yesterday. She will start off with therapy twice a week plus whatever we can do at home. I was thinking of trying her out on our eliptical trainer. One of her physical therapist said that it would help with range of motion and strengthen her hip flexor muscles. Of course we will have to see how safe it is for her to be on it.

    Hollis uses our elliptical trainer to stretch out her heel cords (achilles tendons), and she loves it, because she doesn’t realize she’s doing work. Of course, she’s still a little short (4′ 6″) to get her feet in the right spots, but she just puts them a little further up on the pedals and holds the handrails.

    We are so glad that you are all home together under one roof. Our thoughts and prayers continue with all of you. Cris, Kristi, Jessie, and the rest of us here in Texas.
