So we have an official discharge plan...Thursday! We waffled back and forth about leaving tomorrow or staying until Friday to maximize her inpatient therapy; in the end, we compromised on getting a full day of therapy tomorrow, half day Thursday then starting outpatient OT and PT on Friday with speech kicking in on Monday. Georgia is dictating most of this plan - her progress has slowed, which is an expected thing, not a bad thing, and we can tell she is reaching her limit with hospital life. She is asking much more frequently now for car rides, playground and swings. She will certainly miss pushing all of the elevator buttons around here though as well as the mammoth-sized, piping hot pancakes for breakfast. The latter we will do our best to recreate for her at home :)
Three weeks ago tomorrow we started this race - Georgia is still pushing hard and is on track to finish her race with negtive splits. We couldn't be prouder and will of course be her biggest fans cheering her to the finish, whenever that may be. Thanks to all of you for your cheers of encouragement too...we hear and feel it so strongly even across the miles.
Some highlights from the past 2 days:
Where is Tom Hanks when you need him?
Georgia doing her best impersonation of the Swedish chef
Event 1: Rock climbing
Event 2: Wagon pulling
Nice glasses (actually used for an optho exam today!)
I simply cannot believe that 3 weeks has passed! We make some mean blueberry Pancakes so will whip some up when we come for a visit! The video watching will take place when my crew awakes! XOXOXOX Go G Go G Go! Off to the gym...basement:)
ReplyDeleteGeorgia, we're so proud of you! If you so choose....you'll chuckle at Heart-Break Hill in Boston; the trek in Colorado from Georgetown to Idaho Springs will be a piece of cake. Laugh when you want to; connect with everything that interests a three year old! Go get 'em, Georgia! Congrats on going home tomorrow.
