Going home tomorrow!

She is making progress daily! All her therapists have said so. Today she stood with PT, was leaning against a table, but was able to stand on her own without any assistance to stabilize her legs! Everyone says how alert she is, and she is more interactive with her therapies. I have noticed better eye contact. She is noticing her incision more and starting to scratch it, but other than that she doesn't seem to have as much discomfort or pain. She still gets very tired after all the hard work so we are sure to let her take naps as needed. She has had a couple of small seizures over the last two days so we continue to pray for these to totally stop. Dr. Lee said she is doing great and he is ready for her to be released from the hospital. However, the inpatient rehab process is difficult. It takes a while to get insurance approval and she would have to stay a minimum of two to three weeks. After much prayer, we are at peace with doing outpatient rehab instead. She can then be discharged tomorrow and we can come home! We will then get her started with outpatient pediatric rehab in Cedar Park. She will probably need 4 times a week at first, then can probably decrease frequency after that. We are still figuring it all out, but we will make it happen somehow. I just feel so much better about this decision because we can get home and she can rest so much better in her own bed. We continue to be so thankful for all our blessings!
