The Finer Points of Life!

Now that Gina has all the gross motor and cognitive skills back, she only has the finer points to work on. And so, in true Gina style, she's diligently doing those tasks. She's now balancing on one foot on uneven surfaces, playing soccer, expanding her problem solving skills, and working on some extremely fine motor skills for her right hand. One of the exercises she did today should be called stickpin torture......and yes, it really is as painful to watch as it sounds!!!!!!! Gina was given a foam block, tweezers, and some straightpins. She then had to pick up a pin with the tweezers and stick the pin into the foam block by using only those tweezers. It was a lot of hard work involving a very high level of concentration on Gina's part and a high level of restraint on my part, but Gina stuck with it and accomplished the task....twice......no problem!!! She also played fetch with Ansley and Ansley made me fetch the ball.......who says dogs aren't smart????? Or did I just say too much about my own IQ level??? It'll be another fun and exciting day tomorrow......I'll keep you posted!

Hugs,
Mimi
