It is difficult to believe that August is almost over and that we leave for Baltimore and Kennedy Krieger in 10 days! August has been full of visitors, trials and triumphs. Michael, my main therapist with whom I work with 6 hours a week, was away for 3 weeks. Although I still had a few PT sessions at the hospital with my therapist, Sonja and did some therapies at home with mom and Trevor, my body and mind really missed the extra hours of physical activity. Needless to say, Michael is back and I am thrilled. I had my first pool session in a month yesterday and showed much improvement by standing for longer periods of time and walking for longer distances. I'm also getting a lot of core strength back, which is more difficult to quantify, at least for me. I mostly take Michael's word for it.
A significant triumph is that I've been able to move my left leg without any assistance while using the lite gait walking machine.
On another note, the Pereyra family has two new additions to the clan, Asher Caden and Conor Thomas- congrats to Ken and Lori, Tom and Julie!!
