A different approach to therapy

The internet here at the hospital was down all afternoon & evening yesterday (Wednesday). It's now 12:30 PM Thursday, Oct. 11th and it just came back up.

Anyway, Shawna started her therapies in the physio therapy rooms. Tony, her PT here, says that we should not be kneeling Shawna across the ball on the mat because it makes her hyper-extend her head back; we should be doing other therapies with her to help her to regain head control first. Interesting how different cultures feel different approaches to the same problem are best.

We will meet with entire team of doctors, etc. this afternoon at 1:30 PM to go over what the plan is for Shawna. We are getting ready now to go, so I will report more later.

P.S. little Gary and I had to go shopping again yesterday at Wal-Mart to try and find diapers and formula for Shawna. We managed to find something like Ensure, but there were no adult diapers to be found at Wal-Mart. My chin hit the floor when they told me "no" ... Wal-Mart did not have something ??? inconceivable! LOL.
