monday evening

there has been so much going on, i hope i remember everything. we have had a lot of company lately, and i have enjoyed talking with everyone. iknow that sometimes i'm hard to understand, i just appreciate people trying! i'm pretty happy because this week i learned to move candy andpopcorn back and forth in my mouth. it takes a lot of muscles in my tongue and jaw, but it's one step closer to moving all my food over! also,this week, i went to ku med for a follow-up. the last time i was there, i couldn't sit or stand, i still had my trach and couldn't talk. it was a lot of fun to go back! i saw the doctor who cleared my clot and my first speech therapist. i missed some people though, so we will have to go back!

friday night

i know... it's been awhile. we've been keeping very busy.

this week in therapy, gen started working on the parallel bars. we stood her up and put her hands on the bars and she was able to hold herself up without any help at all. we also worked on walking with the bars, and gen helped by sliding her hands forward on the bars.
tonight, as we were working out, gen lifted her arms up from the shoulders. she has been working on this for months. look at the picture at the bottom of the page.
