More Progress at the Plaza

This morning Ceil had therapy at the plaza. Boy, did she work hard! Ceil worked with OT on the right arm and moved the arm by herself! It was great to watch her work with the therapist. The OT used the EMPI and Ceil worked the rest of the arm on her own power. Ceil also did her best walking to-date with the PT today. She walked the whole distance of the therapy room and then all the way to the lobby. When they were about 10 feet away from the lobby door, the PT offered Ceil a chance to quit and sit down. Ceil paused for just a second, and then pushed her right leg forward in a determined effort to complete the walk. Ceil did complete the walk. Great job Ceil! The PT will order a custom leg brace that will help Ceil walk more efficiently and protect the knee from hyper extending as well.

Ceil got her hair cut later in the day, and then we walked around the mall for a while window shopping and looking at the various Halloween displays.
