This week has gone by in a blur. Evaluations, doctors, doctors and more doctors. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, Neurology, psychology, play therapy, school, breakfast group, exercise group and a whole array of people probing about past events. All therapy is based around play and everyone around us constantly smiles. It's a place where miracles happen and I feel lucky to have Emily there.
Today Emily got her foot to the floor for the first time in 6 months. She "walked" for 30 minutes with her foot down which was a massive stride forward.Her pain level is flying high right now but Emily is coping with it as best she can.

About Ms. Emily
- Emily has just turned 14 and lives in Texas. She has nerve damage in her legs, severely in her left leg below the knee. This has triggered RSD type II in her left foot, foot drop and contracture in her hamstring and toes.Since I started this blog back in March Emily's RSD has spread to her other foot, both knees, her arms and hands. Although she has this crippling disease Emily tries to keep as positive as she can. She has an amazing spirit, a huge heart and strength that you rarely even see in an adult.

Thank you A.J for Em's pics and kind words. She told me to tell you that she'll be sending me soon for more polos so get em ready!
Jason,
I looked into HBOT therapy but everyone I've spoken with here is dead against it. I haven't ruled it out though so keep me posted :)
