Lizzy is finally back to baseline !!! whooooo hooooo. She is doing pretty well. She is in her power chair a lot these days and I think that is great!! She is all over and getting to be a pro !!
The FSMA conference is next week and I feel so bad we are going to miss it because so many type 1 families are going to be there this year. I want to meet them and let them meet Lizzy!!
Lizzy is having issues with contractures in her elbows. She is having a hard time reaching to her mouth sometimes. Her legs are moving so well .I just am not understanding these contractures. I work with her all every day and stretch and massage her arms, legs , neck and back. I have her OT getting a adjustment for her arm brace so it doesnt bother her so much so she will wear it more. Serial casting is going great! Lizzy is neutral on one side and -8 on the other side so finally we are almost DONE!! She started out -22 on one foot and -37 on her bad foot so its worked!! Its just been hard driving to Peoria once a week to get her done.Gas prices are over 4.00 a gallon!! She got delayed because she had been sick and the ortho guy accidently over stretched her bad foot.
Well, I am hoping to get out side and enjoy some of that summer weather if it the sun will shine again.
Our Trip to CA to see DR.Wang is July 10 but.... I am afraid that Mercy Medical Airlift is not going to help us because we can not get them to answer our calls. I am freaken over this one. I pray they get us a flight. I know things are rough but Lizzy has to get out there to see DR.Wang or she will not get the med she needs.
Nice to hear Lizzy is better and you are better!! Give her a big hug from us.
