Day 3 – Therapy Time
Day 2 – Getting Started
We got right to business when we got to Houston. Here’s a look at Jordan’s silliness in the plane and all the work we got done on our first day at Pediatric Prosthetics.

We’re in Houston and I have a great 4 and a half minute video that’s processing through Google video… After I spent all kinds of time dealing with spotty internet access on my Mac. So I’ve moved to borrowing my kind host’s computer… And waiting on Google approval to post the second blog online. So…

The big snots are back
Jordan has a cold. I took her to her PM&R appointment and saw the new hand the prosthetist ordered. We all talked about how we need a different way to fit her arm into the prosthetic and I think we’re moving forward. The doctors all had to go through this meeting with Jordan bawling. She…

Read More +The fittings just keep going
So we had another fitting today for Jordan’s arm. She was so good… The test socket is made of a plastic form that kind of moves around like a soda bottle — it’s thicker, but very similar in how it stretches and bends. Actually, it’s kind of the thickness of a Livestrong bracelet. I digress.…
Read More +Go girl!
So I mentioned to the OT that Jordan tried to grab onto something with her hand and arm over the weekend… So we worked on that skill today. SHE ROCKED! She’s figuring out that if you reach further out with her hand and meet up with her little arm, she can hold onto things. I’m…
