Last morning at CIRU! Joy had some breakfast, and we packed our remaining items into a wagon. She played on the activity room computer one last time while we went over our discharge papers. Then off to the Medical Office Building across the driveway for her OT evaluation. More paperwork, more tests, and it was determined Joy will NOT need follow-up OT, they can cover her needs in PT alone. YAY! Then Paul took Joy off to the American Girl store to celebrate (She convinced him to buy her another doll!!!!!)I drove the other car home. The cats were so excited about Joy coming home, one of them puked all over her nice clean bed. Thanks cat! I unpacked and put up pictures and crafts from room 363 to make the transition easier. Once they got home, the CPM machine was delivered, and we strapped her in for a test drive. She's supposed to use it for 4 hours a day, with hour breaks in between. Sure makes a huge difference in her mobility to be rid of the knee pain and stiffness! Using her good leg for support, Joy can now get in and out of bed alone!! Amazing! The rest of the day was very quiet, me and Paul took turns napping. Joy enjoyed her big screen Wii, and playing with her kitties, and new doll. First PT appt. not till Wed. the first. Hope we can keep her moving till then! Good to be home!
