The Cast Goes On

Amanda got her cast today. She took it in stride and seems to have adjusted just beautifully. She is already making progress with her right arm, even after only one day of therapy. She yanked off her glasses tonight with her right hand. Yippee! She really likes her therapist Dory and warmed up to her quite quickly. She will have 6 hours of intensive occupational therapy per day (7:15-1:15) through Dec 21. This week she gets 6 days of therapy and then 5 days each of the next 3 weeks. She can still clap even with her arm in a cast and she loves to chew on it. She also likes to bang it really hard on her high chair tray. She has also been squealing like a Maccaw in our apartment. We are on the second floor of a 3 story building so I hope the neighbors are laid back.

Our new apartment is great. It is much cleaner and brighter and close to lots of nice things. It just goes to show that things always have a way of working out for the best. The personnel from the leasing agency were really nice about trying to get us fixed up today. So thanks to them for helping us out and fixing the situation.

We are looking forward to seeing all the changes in the next few weeks as Amanda rediscovers her right side. I will try to keep you posted daily on her progress. I will also post some pictures tomorrow of Amanda with her cast. Thanks for all the love, support, and prayers. God Bless!
