We have been really busy the last couple of weeks getting in all of our halloween activities. We went to another pumpkin and hayride event last weekend. We went with Sarah’s friend Marissa and her family. Logan’s soccer is keeping us hopping. I could start a blog just on all of his soccer activities. Kim and I went on a Treasure Hunt last night with some friends. It was a great time and it raised money for the Epilepsy Foundation of Western Ohio. It was a nice adult night out that we really needed.

I noticed today when we were leaving a soccer game that Sarah is not overcompensating her walk as much. The best way I can explain it is that she wasn’t lifting her knee unordinarily high. It could have been because she was tired, but her walk was looking more normal. She is doing the e-stim or her electroshock therapy (I love the reaction when I tell people that we are giving her electroshock therapy) at home now. It doesn’t hurt her, but she gets impatient having to sit in one spot while she is doing it.

Here is a picture of Sarah on the e-stim and some pictures from last weekend.

I know I haven’t posted in a while so I just wanted to give a small update. Sarah is doing good, working hard at therapy and school. We extended her school hours this past week so she can get in more subjects like art and music.

We are working towards getting our insurance to cover more therapy. Right now she is going two days a week because we only get so many therapy sessions a year and wanted to spread them out. We would like her to be going three days a week at least for the first couple of years.

I hope to have some new pictures and maybe some videos to post in the next few days.
