Path's Recovery Journey

Hello Folks!  It’s hard to believe it’s almost August. Path has been doing pretty well lately. As always - busy with appointments and spending time with friends and family! She has made progress with improved swallowing and has been able to eat some food. She is also able to move her left hand to her shoulder on her own- which is huge. Her left arm is showing signs of muscles being active and being used which is a massive step forward.  We had our consultation about her upcoming surgery- unfortunately the earliest it could be scheduled is 2 October. We are working with MFB to explore other hospitals who can perform the surgery to provide her with the care she needs as soon as possible.  We will keep you posted when we hear back from the team. Again - thank you all for the love and support. It is always appreciated! ♥️ - Elizabeth 

Hello friends! I hope everyone is enjoying summer. It’s been pretty busy for us the past few weeks. We have some updates: - Path has her new glasses which will help her work her eye muscles and continue to improve her ability to focus. - we got her the promised cats - two brothers from Paws of Hope that are cute and funny. Path has already been trying to move her arms to pet them. - Path will be having an additional upcoming surgery in the next few weeks to insert a pump for medicine that will help her muscle spasms. The doctor is very confident this will help her ability to heal if she is not constantly fighting against tight muscles and pain. - Following surgery she will most likely do another round of therapy at Mary Free Bed to continue to focus on her healing. We don’t have dates or times yet but will hopefully have a better idea of timing in the next week or so. Have a wonderful holiday week! ❤️ - Elizabeth
