welcome mobility

Today we had some great news - I love it when Sam comes in the door asking me if I want good news or better news after he has spoken with his mom. Cosima has some new found mobility. She has figured out how to get out of her bed, onto the board, and into her wheelchair and is then able to push herself around just a bit. This was something she figured out on her own - though any of us who know her aren't surprised in the least.

We are excited that this gives her some freedom previously she didn't have. She can also put on her pants and shirt as well.

The bus was able to take her to the optometrist today and she had some very good news there as well. Her eyes were not affected during the accident - there was a bit of concern that some damage could have happened during the accident but fortunately nothing did.

A change of prescription is needed but that was not due to the accident but rather just a change in her vision from the last time she had been to the eye doctor. As anyone who wears glasses/contacts knows it seems the vision changes with each visit. A new prescription was ordered and she should have her new eyes in 7 - 10 days.

Tomorrow is the weight bearing test at UNMH. She has an early morning appointment so we are hoping her wait won't be nearly as long this time. Again our fingers are crossed that she has reached weight bearing status.

A very positive day - even more so given it is a Monday. So from Cosima an excellent Monday report.
