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!

TRIKE RIDE PART TWO

Okay so I have been working super hard 6 days a week. i get one day off.... for my own sake:) i have 5 days with therapy (OT and PT) and just this past week...I amazed myself with the bike, these few little short clips that my mom took proves it. these are from this week...

Compare this to my ride on October 27, 2008....
A LOT HAS CHANGED!

IT WON'T BE LONG!!!!!!

Ivy has been working really hard all summer with therapy four times a week. It is soooooo paying off now. She has also put on a bit of weight. When she was released from the hospital last May, she weighed a whooping 97 pounds. She is now 109 and her muscles are really beginning to show. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Many, many happy tears after this accomplishment.
