Learning and growing

Miss Jordan is doing well. I took her to the doctor’s office today to make sure her skin rash isn’t something that needs serious lotion or care to clear it up. I had her sleep with Desitin on her arm and I think the skin is finally losing its redness. It turns out our concerns about her skin were because I probably wasn’t cleaning the prosthetic properly. After calling Houston, I was given tips and advice on what to do. Hopefully we won’t have a similar problem. So after a two day off, Jordan is going to wear her prosthetic for at least a couple of hours tomorrow. We kind of lost a week of wear with all of her skin concerns. Hopefully we didn’t lose too much strength in her shoulder.

Tomorrow I’m taking Jordan to the infant cognition lab to continue the study she participated in when she was around 10 weeks or so old. That will be cool. Also on Thursday, Jordan is going to be the focus of questions and fun for a couple of occupational therapy labs on campus. Hopefully we’ll be able to offer students some knowledge they wouldn’t have really been able to get without meeting my girl.

    What tips did they give you? We haven’t had skin issues but even though I clean the inside of the prosthesis his arm always smells like a stinky foot when we take it off. Yuck!
