02/16/2025 Progress Update
I can’t believe it’s halfway though February. Path started school in January and it’s been wonderful to see her improvements emotionally and socially. Despite the early start to the day, Path has adjusted to a new schedule and routine and does her best everyday. We’ve also noticed exciting improvements in using her AAC - she is able to understand the software and respond to questions. Along with school, she is also getting her pump increased every other week. And we are definitely getting close to the dose that she needs. The impact of getting the pump closer to the level she needs is amazing- she has massively improved the flexibility in her right arm and hand. She has been able to start (with assistance) lifting weights and doing bicep curls on her left and right side. Studies have shown that weightlifting is really important for a mind-body connection after a TBI - and she has been working hard. We can’t wait to see what the next few weeks hold. -Elizabeth
