Good Evening everyone! Today was a good day but I forgot to tell you something I did yesterday. During an afternoon OT session Erin and I went out to the new children's play area, that was paid for with money donated by Larry The Cable Guy, and played some basketball. Let me tell you how much more difficult it is to shoot from a chair. I thought I had pretty strong arms but they could definitely be bulked up a little.
Today I tried something new for my leg. It's called a Bioness and it is for foot drop. It stimulates the muscle in my leg that causes my foot to pick up when it takes a step. It was amazing and worked really well! Cali said that I will have to practice with it because it will fatigue my muscle but eventually I will wear it all day every day.

One of the therapist's husband plays on a wheelchair basketball team so they're going to see if I can go watch their practice on Tuesday. Guess what? There is also a wheelchair softball team! They play on a parking lot. How fun but challenging would that be?
All this therapy is hard but Cali and Erin are so much fun. They are really concerned about doing the best they can for me since they are around my age and know how much this stinks for someone so young!
