Just wanted to share a success with everyone. Cameron had PT yesterday and it was amazing. Thursday's are usually her swim day's and I went in about mid-way through her session to observe. The therapist had placed four electrodes that send a small electrical stimulation to Cam's muscles, on her quad and lower leg. They had her brace off and no shoes and the girl was walking beautifully. There was barely a limp and almost no hyper extension of her left leg. It is amazing the things they come up with to help her and they are so committed to her success. Thanks, Katherine, Jenny, Carol and Pat. All of these folks that help Cameron each week are amazing.
For Cameron the first year is very important b/c the left side of her brain must learn to make all of these connections that the right side used to make. Hopefully things like this will enable her to have a very mobile life. We are heading to NOVA tomorrow and then to Baltimore on Monday. Cameron will walk on a special treadmill that also reduces her limp on Tuesday morning and then meet with the neurologist and neurosurgeon. We will update everyone on their thoughts as well. Take care. The Motts.

Good luck up at Hopkins! Can't wait to hear the report. I'm sure they'll be amazed with how well she's doing.
