Lots of Love!

On our way to visit Tia Carmen!

 

   Joaquin and Moises!

We walked in to see Carmen right in the middle of speech therapy, she was practicing communicating with her signs, thumbs up for yes, down for no, and she shrugs her shoulders for I don't know. After speech she had an hour of exercise class where she did some strength training with her arms and legs. We even did it with her and after a half hour we were tired!

 

 

 

Moises even participated!

After exercsie class, she had an hour of PT, than lots of Carmen's best friends came to visit! Cory and Wes, Rachel, Francis, Jessica, Lencho with Lucia and Alma, Jane and Ella! It was a fun afternoon hangin out with the gang and all the crazy kids running around.

Carmens biggest Fans!

Therapy schedule

This is Carmen's therapy schedule for the weekday:

Physical Therapy 8:30 - 9:30 a.m.

Speech Therapy 10 - 11 a.m.

Occupational Therapy 11 - 12 p.m.

Exercise Class 2 - 3 p.m.

 In PT today, Car stood with help using the parallel bars and she was sitting and balancing herself beginning with 5 seconds working up to 45 seconds. The therapists feel that Car will make lots of progress.

It's a new day!

Today marks the day of a new adventure in Carmen's life. She left LCCMV this morning and headed South to University of Washington's rehab center. Please keep her in your prayers as she's going to have some intense therapy in the upcoming weeks. We'll post pics and more info as we have it! Stay tuned!
