Week 8 since the accident: Just over 6 weeks ago, if someone told me then that MJ would be home again with me, I would not have believed it. I was dreading Christmas. Now, it feels like Christmas everyday. I can't stop smiling.
MJ had her first session of physio this afternoon since she has been home. The new exercises she has been taught are really fun. She was shown an exercise to stretch her right arm, which entails her touching her nose and then touching my finger. She laughs so much as she streches to reach my finger as I move it about, and yes, she still tries to cheat as she becomes more excited. The mischieviousness in her has certainly not been lost.
Tomorrow we have to go to the community centre to for a session there. MJ just wants to walk and get out of her chair and splint. We've told her she needs to be patient and that it will happen when it happens. It's good that she has the determination though.
School should begin again in earnest for MJ next week, so no more slacking. It will be good when she gets her word bank back. Perhaps she will learn to say more than yeah/stuff/no when asked a question. Her 'favouite' saying right now is: my nail broke!
For those that want to visit MJ, please get my number from Di/Mandy/or anybody else that has it and I will pencil you in.
Well, as it is past 1am, I think I should try get some sleep. P.S. Thanks Katie and Aunt Cath for coming to the rescue yet again. Love you guys.
