Hi Everyone, This past weekend was the 4th annual Laughter is the Best Medicine. Year 1, Corey was in her tilt wheelchair. Year 2, she walked in holding onto me. Year 3, she walked in with her double arm platform walker (I walked behind her - just in case). This year,...

4yrs; Day 1479 – from Corey; PT/OT update
Hi Everyone, PT update; We're not sure what our plan will be to submit for more sessions. The medications changes have severely affected Corey's performance levels. If we submit immediately, it will look (on paper) that she has regressed. The issue is not knowing if...
4yrs; Day 1475 – from Corey; PT/OT
Hi Everyone, We made it through both sessions but it wasn't easy! OT news; This morning, for the first time since Corey's accident, she put on her shirt, pants and right sock without my assistance! Corey's range of motion is increasing in her left arm and shoulder so...
