Avery checking in...

Avery's Progress... Avery has been going to physical therapy now twice a week for three weeks and I just realized this last week that we have been working on the wrong side of her neck! I didn't even notice at first because she seemed to be improving and showing that her neck was turning to both sides fairly well. She also seemed more straight and upright then before she started therapy, so I thought it was working. However, about four days ago I noticed that she really started to tip to the same side, and I realized then that therapists were always messaging and heating her right side, when it should have been her left...well they say doctor's have done surgry on the wrong leg before, so I guess something like this is not uncommon , but I am glad I finally noticed! I mean I feel kind of stupid for not paying closer attention. I just figured they knew what they were doing but things happen, ya know?
Avery's foot is also not improving much, so she is getting a brace on her foot nex week, which will help her be able to stand better. She has been falling quite a bit since her right foot turns inward so much- she looses her balance and falls. She has started to climb up the stairs with me right behind her but falls down a lot because of that foot.
Well that's the news today...Avery checking out....
