The first week of 8th grade is now history! Allie did ok, making it about 5 hours the first 3 days. We are trying to figure out that balance of what she can and can't do as far as carrying things. By Thursday, she was getting sore, particularly the right shoulder. So, she'll get some rest this weekend and try it again next week. The staff at school are very supportive and her friends have been great so far!
Allie also had another follow-up this past Monday and Jill, the APN, is very please with her progress. Allie can carry up to five pounds. The big activity is walking, but she can go into a pool as long as she doesn't swim. If she wants to ride a stationary bike she has to wait until October or November. It is all slow but steady progress!
