I made it through my first day back in the office with (reasonably) flying colors. I think I even contributed a new perspective on an issue folks had been struggling with. Bless Steve for commenting after one meeting, "it's like you never left."

Emily and Ken similarly did well without me. Em had her first follow up appointment with her neurologist. Apparently, there's some concern on her therapy team that she's becoming overtired. We'll meet again as a family in two weeks to discuss the issue again. That aside, she managed to do a full day of therapy plus bike, standing and mat class, and she was in a fine mood when I got home. I know the folks at Craig are the experts, but it seems to me there's a place between teen tired and real tired that we need to shoot for. As I've told Em on several occasions, I watched her train too many weekends to buy the "I'm too tired" routine now.

Tomorrow Emily and I will meet with her Speech Therapist to go over her comprehensive cognitive testing. Suzanne has already told me she's seeing some very positive indications concerning Em's short-term memory, and the purpose of the tests is to identify what areas we need to work on in the coming months.
