The week is half over but it feels like we have accomplished a year's worth of confidence and milestones!!!
Tuesday and Wednesday were filled with great sessions!! We seem to be doing alot more balancing and walking with schmata than the boxes, but those little wooden creations still manage to work their way in there!!
Yesterday we ended the afternoon session with Abby walking for 245 steps with Ramon only 'guiding' her by schmata wrapped on each wrist. He then held the schmata, not Abby, and walked along behind her. We went so far we had to walk out of the room, down the hall and to the end of the Yaldei clinic!! It was awesome!!!
Today we had a good morning session and then we stopped for a 10:30 ice cream treat and a ride on the city bus (a first for Abby & Jack!) This afternoon we continued with Ramon and Abby amazed us yet again!!
He had Abby standing on a square board that was resting on 4 balls to create instability. She stood on top and while we thought he was just going to hold her ankles, he let go and held the board, not Abby! He even moved the board back and forth to create a bigger challenge. She stood, ON HER OWN, for a count of 43!!!! We were in shock!!! It was unbelievable!!! Then, she went on to do it again and again for counts of 20 to 40. The old Abby would have stood for maybe 3 seconds once and then refused to do it again. This is the new Abby!!
It has been a great 3 days and we still have 2 more to go!! 2 sessions tomorrow and a trip to the BioDome in between.
Again, thank-you for supporting this amazing opportunity!! Every penny is worth it!
