Today was the beginning of a more typical routine for Alex for the next 6 weeks. We get a schedule in the morning for the day's activities. She had 30 min of OT, 30 min of PT, 30 min of school, 30 of recreational therapy (they made a sign for her door today, eventually they do sports and such I believe). We had a 90 min break in there for lunch and relaxation and then 30 min of OT and 30 min of PT. Right now, OT and PT look pretty similar. They are working on bridges, rolling, and being in prone (on her tummy) and lifting her arms to work on head/neck/shoulder strength. They are just starting to work toward lifting up more toward sitting (see bottom pic). By the end of the week, she should progress to a wheelchair, although she will still need to be in her prone cart 3 times a day.
Charlie and Oli want to tell Alex they hope she gets better soon:) they both wanted to sing her a song! Charlie was excited to hear about Alex's tooth, the tooth fairy has been a frequent visitor to the Golden house:) so glad Alex is enjoying teddy:)
