Emily really enjoyed going to the movies Sunday afternoon and getting take-out pizza for dinner. We ended up seeing "Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer;" it was entertaining and we were frankly worried that the 3-hour Pirates movie would be too long for her at this stage.

Monday was incredibly busy - Emily barely had a break between 9:00 and 4:00. Emily went to her first mat class with the other patients and therapists. She did very well. Not only are the exercises and stretches good for her, it's also great practice at following instructions. In PT her therapists was amazed at how well Emily is coming to a stand - huge improvement since just last Thursday. She was also doing more of the exercises with her right leg, which is a good sign. Her OT put a patch on the right lens of her glasses to help her avoid double vision now that her right eye is almost completely open. She's got an appointment in the vision clinic on Thursday and we'll probably get some exercises to help get the movement in her right eye stronger and get both eyes tracking together. We'll also see the ENT sometime this week for her vocal chords and start the muscle injections to get some relaxation in her right arm and ankle. Once we get the ankle to neutral, she'll start wearing a boot cast and be able to do a lot more PT to get to walking.

We have our conference with Dr. Weintraub and the therapy team at 1:00 today. This is the conference where we'll get their full assessment, our planned in-patient discharge date, and where we're likely to be then in terms of Emily's capabilities. It will also give us a picture of what kind of modifications we'll need to make to the house.
