Tuesdays and Fridays??!!

What is it with the inconsistency of Tuesdays and Fridays for Josie at therapy? I can't understand why these are days she struggles the most. Friday I get more then Tuesday. Fridays her legs are so fatigued and her mind must be like mush from the sheer concentration that is required of her all week at therapy and with tutoring. But Tuesdays...why?? So basically you get the gist of today. Even through these days that aren't award winning she gains so much. We got there and both Josie and I got massaged. I have had a migraine for 4 days now so Bella worked on me and Holly started with Josie. Maybe Josie was worried about me or something because she was off from the beginning. Finally at 5 o'clock Przemek told her she was done even though she really had another half and hour. He told her she could go but she had to walk to the car with her canes. She was so excited to go early that she actually cooperated. The little pistol walked herself with Przemek out to the car. It took her 25 minutes to do so but she did it. Now she is ready for her good Wednesday.

She will have a slight disadvantage tomorrow because we are going to University of Michigan Medical Center to see the endocrinologist before therapy. She has to have blood work done as soon as we get there and can't eat before that. We will do our best. It is something that has to be done.

She has been doing really well with her studies. It is fun to watch her make progress. It is a miracle that she even has the ability to learn. I will be mindful of the greatness of what she can achieve and not compare her studies to others. She doesn't need that added pressure.

I hope you all had a wonderful Tuesday. Even though we have these moments in therapy we remember that they are just moments. They will pass and will be small in the big picture. Cheers, Jenny and Josie
