Here are a few pictures of how Jessie is enjoying her Home Therapy...or playing.
An update on the Saebo Stretch Arm splint. It is working pretty well, but a little harder to adjust than the one that was cast for her at KKI. We're still trying to figure out all this AFOs, splint, etc..etc.. to get the best results for Jessie. Please feel free to post comments or email suggestions for those of you with experience.
BTW, I took an Adderall today to see what the effects would be on her. OMG!! I weight over 200lbs, and I felt like I drank 20 cups of coffee...I can't imagine what that would do to her at 50lbs. And it did NOT help my concentration and focus. I couldn't focus on ANYTHING! We are watching her closely to see how she is on the medication...but I'm having my doubts.
OK, before you start slamming me. I know that I shouldn't take medication that is prescribed for someone else. But give me a break...it is my little girl.
It is so great to have Jessie back home. She smiles more and more each day, and recovers more and more each day. It is a miracle to watch and we are so thankful for the results we see each day.
We hope to see all of you on August 16th at 6:00PM at Bearcat Park in Aledo.
Cooling Off in 105 degree Texas Heat !!
Googlie Eyes - Every kid loves goggles in the pool !!
Chewing on a rubber rat ... at least I think it's rubber. It came out of the skimmer! Yuck!!
The watch on her left arm vibrates and beeps every hour to remind her to look at her arm and use it. Hemiplegic (hemiparetic) kids have neglect on one side of their body, and they forget to use that part. Notice the GREAT walking.
What can I say? The girl loves her dog.
Awwwww!!!
This is a very difficult move. She just bent over and picked up a nerf dart....
....to throw at Mommy!!! Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaa!
