Rehab Day 7


Joy began her day in PT by rolling over and laying on her right hip! She maintained it without too much pain for a good while! She didn't think she could do it, I'm glad she did! Our scheduled car-seat consult didn't show, so we had a break before group exercise. I asked if parents had to stay and was told to take a break! Good time to check e-mail and clean room....Joy had fun lifting weights and hitting the beach ball! Next Joy had more PT to work on her thigh muscles and bend her knee. There were tears during the Dr.s rounds, so pain meds timing before PT will be looked at, and an early pill was immediately brought. Next was OT, and we played Skip-Bo while Joy sat up unassisted. Next was supposed to be lunch with her peer group, only nobody else showed up! I'd gone to fetch an amazing salad for lunch, and missed the whole thing. Came up to find her sitting at the nurses stand!!! Rescued her and we had a nice long break to play Wii and draw fashion designs, and a nap for mommy! The next round of PT Joy decided to walk there! It's a long way down the hall, but she made it! Then she worked on bending her knee, and tried to play on a Lite Brite. Her day ended with a peer group activity for kids only, so I got another break! At 6 we went to the Zone downstairs for a make your own pizza party and played Skip-Bo till Paul got there and I came home for a few hours. Stinkles is blocking the computer screen as I type..... Oh, forgot to mention a brief trip to the 1st floor craft room for a quick craft activity. It was announced, and nobody knew where it was! When we found it empty (except for the 6 volunteers!!) we mentioned the need to clarify the announcement. Hope some showed up after we left. Joy enjoyed making an eye mask and a sun calendar.I had Paul send me a pic of he and Joy for today's collage. We seem to be passing like ships in the night, and I keep forgetting to snap pics of daddy in action ( cause I'm outta there too fast!!) :)
