Enjoying Summer

Summer is in full swing....finally! Brooke continues to attend PT twice a week at New Berlin Therapy. We typically only go 1x per week, but since there is no school therapy now we did get 2x per week approved through summer. After summer we may be looking at denied services outside of school. We shall see...as long as Brooke continues to make the considerable gains she is and is meeting her goals, I feel I'll have an argument there. Her goal, by summer's end, is to be walking independently within the home using one cane. She can do this, but it's not as safe as I'd like to see it. I need to be right there, "just in case". She tends to lose her balance backward and hasn't figured out a defense to her fall. We'll continue to work on stability, repetition works for Brooke.
We're enjoying the pool this summer and what great, fun therapy for her! She can touch bottom and her PT says the more walking we can do in the pool, the better. We are entertaining the idea of a return trip to Hangzhou. The stay wouldn't be as long this time, hopefully as few as 20 days. We're still considering our options, as for a time frame, possibly May of 2009.
Thank you again for your interest, thoughts, and prayers.
Her & Tony had their bonding moment on Sunday
