The girls left Logan and I this past weekend to go to a pumpkin festival. We had to go to a soccer tournament. Sarah got a workout walking around the festival all day. She had a great time with her friend Marissa. The pictures are below.

 The therapists gave her a splint to wear on her hand at night. It helps keep her fingers straight. Her hand tends to ball up. We try and stay on her about stretching her hand out several times a day. We would like to see some function come back to that hand down the road. The doctors don’t give us much hope, but then they never have. Sarah gets annoyed, but every time I am next to her I try and stretch her fingers. You can feel how tight the tendons and muscles are in her hand.

She goes down to Children’s for a neuropsych test in the morning. This will help assess what she needs from school. It is supposed to take a couple of hours to complete the test. She had one before her first surgery and did very well. She was reading at a high school level back then. It will be interesting to see what level she reads now.
