Mike and Abby have arrived safe and sound:) It was a long drive..8 hours including stops..but they made it in one piece. Abby is thrilled at the prospect of staying in a hotel and even better that it has a pool:)
Today was the first day of therapy. It was a double evening session from 6:00 until 7:30. In hindsight...way too long and way too late. However we did not have much of a choice and wanted to get the most of our 2 weeks in Montreal.
There certainly were a lot of tears but through the tears Abby did a great job. She demonstrated her skills from squat to stand, kneel to stand, aerial sitting and walking at ankles. Everything was done by Ramon only holding on to her ankles!!
He was great!! A powerhouse of a therapist with a great sense of each child and their abilities. He was amazed that she was not already standing independently given her strength and her movement.
At one point, through the tears, Abby took her own first step towards Mike..unassisted!!! Amazing!!! Now to get the other foot in place:)
It was very clear that she has the ability. She just needs the challenge and probably above all else the maturity to see what we are working towards.
A solid first day. Now for a well needed rest and back at it tomorrow at 8:00am.
Well done Abs:)
