Wow. It's been several days since the last post. It almost feels strange to be doing this still but I wanted to say that Tessa is doing great and making big strides every day...literally. With a little help she's able to take steps and can support of all her own weight while standing. I had her doing squats earlier this evening to get her little chicken legs bulked up to what they used to be a month ago...oh...I almost forgot to mention...she's been peeing. It's just been small amounts a few times so far but it looks like those kidneys have finally come around.
All in all, Tessa is rapidly getting back to her normal self. I say "rapidly" because in relative terms we've seen a dramatic shift in her improvement just in the last several days. In reality, she still has a ways to go before she's back to normal mentally, physically and verbally but for now all we need to see is progress. Hard to believe this all started 35 days ago...feels like a year to Katie and I.
Just a year? I like the word "rapidly." Tessa, it's almost time for you to get to know sister Julia in your own home. There should be yellow ribbon all the way down the front steps! Love, Poppa R
ReplyDeleteMolt bé Tessa, a poc a poc i bona lletra com diem els catalans. Ja veuràs com en pocs dies tornaràs a casa juntament amb els teus pares i la teva germaneta i podreu mirar enrere i pensar que tot ha estat un mal son. Ets una gran lluitadora!!! Una abraçada ben forta de part de tota la família
