Day 98 – Uncle’s are awesome
Hi Everyone, I know this post is later than normal but it’s not my fault! My brother Tom (aka Uncle Tom the Great) and my sister-in-law Marjy came down to visit Corey. We have been staying up chatting. They had a very nice visit with her; of course Tom was tormenting...
Day 97 – a full day
Hi Everyone, Our girl had a full day! PT/OT reported good sessions today. PT tried some new stances with Corey. They placed her on her stomach and then brought her to an upright kneeling position. This takes leg, hip, neck, and trunk control. Corey did very well. OT...
Day 96 – quotes to remember
Hi Everyone, It was a quiet night for Miss Corey. She had a new cast put on today pushing the extension further; however, she was uncomfortable and trying to cope with the new casting. We are hoping the regiment of Tylenol will help with the discomfort. Despite her...
Day 95 – Friends are a gift
I thought I’d share a funny story with you. I used to say to my mother, “the day I lose my sense of humor and stop laughing is the day you all better worry about me!” As you know, I’ve been a gypsy since the accident. I haven’t been staying at home except for a rare...
Day 94 – You ask me how I do this?
Hi Everyone, This carepage is a vital resource for communication and a tool in our recovery from this tragedy. I come to the computer each night and the first thing I do is read the posts you all have sent. Each day I gain strength from reading your words of...
Day 93 – We’ll take the bone
Hi Everyone, Corey had a full day of therapy and a late afternoon follow-up appointment with the Neurosurgeon. Neurosurgeons and Neurologists are not warm and fuzzy doctors. They also do not commit to any definitive answer when it comes to the brain. Quite frankly,...
Day 92 – Corey you Sparkle!
Hi Everyone, It is very exciting to see each new change building upon the movements we saw from the previous day. I want to share three of today’s highlights. I “won the prize” a few days ago when Corey opened her mouth for the cold spoon exercise. Twice today, she...
Day 91 – look at your strides
Hi Everyone, The weekend schedule for therapy is much lighter than during the week. Corey had a one hour session today. Don’t think for a minute she didn’t take full advantage of that hour! Julie, a weekend OT therapist, hasn’t seen Corey in 4-5 weeks. She was so...
Day 90 – Year End, New Beginnings
Hi Everyone, We hope you all are celebrating the New Year with those closest to you! It was a good day for Corey. I had the day off from work and the team scheduled me to sit in on all her therapy sessions. I had no idea how busy that gym is during the day! Corey is...
Day 89 – keep moving
PT shared that Corey had a good session with them today. They have been using the wedge to position her on her stomach. She is doing a very good job of holding her head independently and this position is giving her a good trunk stretch. Corey and I watched Toy Story 3...
