Weekly update

Michelle is doing great at PT. Her muscles are strenghtening up just fine ans she continues to make good progress. We are STILL waiting on her doctor to sign the paper work for her ankle braces. I am hoping we can get those made sometime here soon. Tammy, Michelle's PT gal, thinks the braces will help her out and then she'll be able to walk better sooner.

Last week at PT Tammy put some light ankle weights on Michelle to help out. Boy was that interesting to watch. Poor Mitchie was lost as to why Tammy made her ankles heavier. I do have to say she did great with them on.

Starting in March Michelle will also be taking swimming lessons down at the YMCA. We had to get the okay from Tammy before we went down to sign up for lessons. Tammy said go for it. She thinks that swimming will help strengthen those muscles and also keep her active so we don't have problems further down the line.

Not much else is really going on. Michelle's vocabulary now includes Purple, yes she can say purple, shoe and sock.
