We have survived the many appointments and 1st week of therapy here...phew. Josie has done really well with Liz at therapy this week. Liz said that she already sees her walking speed pick up in 4 days. Josie is starting to move her right cane before her right foot has even completed the whole step. This is encouraging because this means that she isn't leaning all her weight on the cane to take a step but rather using her leg and glut muscles. This is required to be able to take away the canes. Exciting times to see the forward progress. We just have to keep it going in that direction.
Last night Josie got to come to my cards group with me. Camilla did an amazing job hosting. Great fun to be with my CA friends. I didn't end up winning but it was to show my friends her walking and her progress. They have all been a great support to us and have known Josie since she was 20 months old. They have really been through it all with us. Alethea, who was one of Josie's first therapist is in our group so I was really excited for her to she what she can do. Thank you DD's.
Michele, my amazing sister-in-law, is in labor right now. Please keep she and Brian in your thoughts and prayers tonight. We will hopefully have a new nephew/cousin/grandson by morning. Can't wait to see him and hear his name. Love, Jenny and Josie
