Continuing to Strengthen
Gina went through a very full day of therapies starting at 8:30a and ending at 4:00p. In each therapy she continued to strengthen what she worked on yesterday...speech-whispering, physical-standing in parallel bars, occupational-self grooming, recreational-beating therapists at games! By the end of the day, Gina was totally worn out, but very proud of herself. (and so are we!). Just getting through such a packed day is definitely an accomplishment in itself!
I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Oh wait....I know one thing it'll bring...Gina gets to go have a swallow test done to see if she can start to eat orally again...it should be interesting....they use a floroscope to watch the food or liquid as it goes down...I'll let you know how it goes!
Hugs,
Mimi

It's great to see you working hard at your therapy sessions...definitely NOT easy but keep grinding away at it!

Paul...c'mon up and take ski ride!

Hey peeps...glad to hear Gina is getting stronger. Maybe they should put a pair of BRAND NEW snowboard boots in her room and work up to putting them on!! I think that will definiatly inspire some more hard work!! Good luck with the Test today!! Hugs & Love to all!!

Hi Gina, Paul & Mimi, What a workout! You are doing super and I'm so proud of you. When you get the OK to eat food again I bet the first request will be for a big piece of tarimasu! I found a recipe for that and will try to make it and have some for you when you get home. Love you all, Aunt Janie
