Wow! She got her groove back!!! It is so good to see.
As you know my daughter's walking hasn't been the best lately. I know it was bothering her just as much as it was killing me to see her walk with difficulty. However, over the past couple of days she has been getting better and better.
If her walking was good, her sitting up straight was off. If she was sitting upright better, her walking was off. But today....everything was great! Everything was working like it is supposed to.
She started her morning with physical therapy. I have to say she wasn't the happiest camper when we got there, but she pulled through (as we know she is a rock star!) and had a great session! She was walking, running, jumping, and dribbling a ball that was easily four times her size!
Then she went to school with all smiles where overall she had a good day. The best part of her day for me was watching her walk out to the car!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!!! It has been a long time since I have seen her do this. In between taking pictures, I was giving her thumbs up through the window!
Her busy day didn't stop after school, as she also went to the chiropractor today. She really enjoys going and I have to say I truly believe she must feel so much better from going, otherwise she would not want to go one more place after school.
So why is her walking better? I have no idea. Is it the fact she went through a growth spurt and now her body has adjusted? Is it the fact she added a chiropractor to her list of specialists? Is it a combination of growth spurt evening out, chiropractor and physical therapy?
I do not know.
What I do know is she loves being back in her old body again. She loves being able to walk and run freely. I love being able to watch her go with no worries of her falling over. I love having her sit at the table and not have to keep adjusting her as she leans to the side. I love having her be herself again....herself... with the way we have lived with Rett Syndrome for 6 years.
As she has taught me, there are always going to be bumps in the road and mountains to climb. This was a little bump we took, but hopefully one we can put behind us. Thanks to the bumps and the mountains we are stronger individually and stronger as a family.
Here is a quote for today....
