Climbing: A Good thing!

Today, Morgan had her therapy. It has been two weeks since her last appointment because of us being away on vacation. She is now only going once a week to Cedar Park outpatient therapy. She will continue at just once a week until school starts, then we will stop going to Cedar Park and she will just continue her therapy at the school. The therapists were impressed with her performance today. The Pt noted how more more motor control she has and more safety awareness and proprioception. She does not lock her knees anymore which means she is gaining strength in her quad muscles. I told the PT she was now climbing on everything, and she thought this was a sign of progress. The therapist in me definitely sees that, but the mom in me, thinks "scary!" She stands on the recliner, walks on the fireplace hearth, and stands on her little table. I am constantly on the look out. She knows "no" now and knows it is wrong, but tests me. Anyway, she had a good therapy session today. She also traveled well in the car. However, she was a different child in the lobby of the therapy office: went "nuts" to say the least. She just does not do well out in public yet, especially in a medical place. She knows now what it is all about. At home, she is much more calm and relaxed. So though still a strugle to go places, still very grateful for how far she has come in such a short time. Very soon, I will be posting about where she was and where she is now. A lot of you may not know just how bad it had gotten for our little girl and it makes seeing her now, so much more of a miracle. Yes, so very thankful for the miracle He had already performed, but still standing in faith for the miracle of total healing for our little girl!
