2008.11.20 Thursday

I have noticed an increase in strength in last couple of days. Today she came up the stairs without my help except I promised I would help on last two (of the 14). It was so hard on her and she was almost crying and breaking my heart but she did it.

Today was hard for several reasons. She did not take sleeping medication last night and did not wake as refreshed as yesterday. Her eyesight was back to pre birthday status so I know there will be ups and downs. We had Occupational Therapy at 9 am and Physical Therapy at 10. The OT concentrated on memory things and she was having a hard time seeing so that made it hard to do well on the visual memory things. Performed better at remembering verbal commands.

We set up a schedule for three more weeks of PT and 2 of OT. We hope to have someone in OT next time with visual expertise.
