Rehab day 6

Our day didn't start till 10 with small exercise group, but we managed to be late to that cause we had a visit from the team Doctor. She is concerned about Joy's bladder (after witnessing a little leakage incident during the morning transfer to the wheelchair). They want to ultrasound her empty bladder to try to figure out the cause. Then some OT with Wii, PT walk down the hall, some bleeding pinsites and crying.......then a break for lunch, only our lunch didn't arrive?!? Finally gave Joy a lunchable so she could eat before our next thing. More occupational therapy where Joy mastered the sock-assist device, and got a grabber velcroed to her chair. More walking in the halls with PT, a break, then we were late to the next round of PT due to a lengthy, productive, potty break! The last PT session of the day went well. Wii flying distracted her from the pain as her thigh muscles were made to move a little. As she was getting back into the wheelchair, I wanted her to show-off her new skill from OT, using a stick/loop to control her own left leg as it raises and lowers during transfers. I ran to get it, and happily handed it over. Seconds later Joy is SCREAMING because she somehow lost control and bent her knee back really fast. She was still wailing as I rolled her into the schoolroom 15 minutes late. I finally had to excuse myself to go cry alone, and the teacher said to shut the door as Joy made known her distress. 15 minutes later I returned and helped Joy finish a poem about Stinkles. (Will post later...it's with the teacher) She wasn't yet happy, but quiet at least. She had her dinner,(two ice packs on knee and hip) a quick nap for me, then off to the kids concert downstairs in The Zone. Not a huge crowd, but fun. Paul met us there around 7:15 so I could run to choir practice. Paul later tried to do pin-care himself, but the nurse took over, didn't think daddy was "cleared" to do it.....he's been doing it for a month! I arrived back at the room around 1A.M. to find them both asleep. Sent Paul home for the night and I'm gonna try to turn in soon......but I now have a VCR set-up, and want to watch the ANTM finale!!!
