What a great day!!!
Today we decided to skip the mid-day pool session as Abby seemed so worn out yesterday and swimming can take a lot out of her. It worked and she had lots of energy for both sessions today.
She completed a number of new excercises that involved a lot of free standing then steps and independent walking. She was able to successfully step down and UP a ramp all by herself. As you can imagine, the way up was very difficult to find the right mix of strength and balance. Ramon told us that in the exercises where he uses light touch to support her, he is doing 30% of the work and she is doing 70% and she is initiating all steps and movement. This is a big change from last year!!
We can be confident that the therapy is working and Abby will continue to progress to the point of independent walking one day:) !!!
Thank-you again to everyone who came together and supported us on this journey. The emotional and financial support is unbelieveable and this would not be possible without it:) We are heading home tomorrow after a double am session and are looking forward to coming back next December and March.
Again, gracias:)
