From Teresa... Hi, it's been awhile since I've added anything to this blog. Tami seems to be hanging in there these days. She was invited to join Aunt Monica and family on a weekend trip to San Diego. They stayed with Aunt Becky's family and had a great visit. They went to the beach, zoo, and other local sights. The long drive was hard on Tami's bottom, but it's that way for any of us.
Tami's neurologist changed her anti-seizure medicine from the keppra to something else, which seems to have less severe side effects for her. The new one makes her sleepy and affects her complexion but less mood swings and other frustrations.
Last week at her bio-feedback therapy Tami asked Steve to work on her left leg and knee, instead of her arm. She got some major improvement by the end of the session! Only she fatigued that leg so much during the appointment, that she had a hard time getting on and off the elevator to leave! The good news is.... everything her brain learns during the sessions, it remembers, no matter how long between therapies. I think she wants to do more leg stuff this week again. (The knee and ankle don't have the "lift" movement very well. As a result she swings that leg out and around. ) Then she'll go back and work more on the arm and hand.
Lilli and Ella both picked up a ''bug" of some kind this last weekend. They are both feeling better today. Tami's happy to be done with cleaning up the puke and diarrhea for now. She is also trying to be sure to get her rest in , so she stays healthy too.
Lilli is going to pre-school three days a week now. The sweet teacher picks her up and drops her off at her house those days. Lilli absolutely LOVES it, and Ella gets some quality alone time with her mommy. It's great all around.
I'm hoping to run to St. George on my days off next week. I really miss the little turkeys. More later....Teresa
