Unfinished Business is organizing a dinner-dance fund raiser for me on Jan. 30, 2010, at the South County Regional Center in Arroyo Grande.....more info to follow.
Come and dance your socks off with me
to the sounds of the best 60's R & R band on the centra coast!
Greetings friends, family, accomplices of Ivy Alvarado! The purpose of this blog is twofold; it serves as a resource for those interested in Ivy's recovery, and a record she can look back on charting her progress and all the people pulling for her. To that end, we encourage people to add their own posts. A rumor-free account of what happened to Ivy exists here. We love you Ivy. Your progress astounds us every single day!

MY WEEK AT A GLANCE
I have a very busy schedule.
Everyday I wake up and if my mom isn't sleeping right next to me I call out for her. We walk down the hall. Then I get in my easy stander and eat breakfast. the easy stand is helping to make my legs perfectly straight.
I have OT( occupational therapy) 3 hours a week.
I have PT ( physical therapy) 4 hours a week.
I have school 5 hours a week.
I have myofascial massage twice a week from this really great lady, named Cynthia.
I also have acupuncture every 10 days.
AAAAAAAAAAnd I exercise at a gym once a week for a hour.
After Thanksgiving I'll start speech therapy 1 hour a week.
We leave around 9:30 and get home sometimes about 4 and other times about 5:30.
I know it will pay off.
Take today for example. I had to leave my house by 9:00 to get to the gym by 9 :30. I exercised and left at 10:30 to get to OT at 11:00. Just to leave and go to Los Osos at 12:30 for a massage then go back to SLO for school which is about an hour to go to school, then go home. Yay the end of the week!
