Monday was our 1 week anniversary and it was marked but Emily having surgery. It was decided that because Emily had such severe pain an epidural would be placed. At that time several blocks and the botox was done. 3 hours after surgery Emily was wheeled into her hospital school room to start work. Physical therapy and occupational therapy followed before she finally crawled slowly into bed. Brutal yes but it's working.
Emily now has a very full schedule which starts at 7:30 pm and ends at 3:30 pm. Mostly her therapy is based around play which is wonderful because there are times when she doesn't realize that she's doing PT. The Easter egg hunt was a prime example. Eggs were placed in hard to reach places and the kids had to find them. Emily walked with her cane and a gait belt held by "Suga Mama" who is Em's new therapist and she's a fresh a breath air.
Thank you to all have have donated to Emily's fund, I appresiate each and every penny. Pete will be putting together bathroom plans for before Emily gets home.
