Tuesday July 3rd!

Hello dear friends. Cameron had yet another great day and was very tired after she completed her afternoon. They increased her PT sessions to three times a day so she biked, walked on the treadmill, and had a regular session. They now have Cameron wearing a foot brace when she is walking which prevents her from turning and dragging her left foot. The only problem is her shoe no longer fits. Casey and I each made a trip to Wal-Mart to purchase some new shoes and we ended up buying three pairs to get the right combo between the two feet (12 1/2 on the right and 13 1/2 on the left). Thanks to the Alpha Phis and the Copley's for the Wal-mart cards they came in very handy for the shoe purchases.

Cameron is really chatty with everyone and it amazes the doctors. She asked Diana (one of the neuro team) if she lived around here, did she have toys, and could we come over. Then Cameron proceeded to shower her with compliments- she must really want to go to her house. She is also making more progress with her arm and the OT is working on writing with her using a program that the school system back home was using.

We are set up for all of our therapies back home where Cam's will continue OT, PT and Speech. Our friends at the Millis Center are wonderful and I am glad that this is in place. Cameron will also receive about two weeks of speech from the school system three times a week when we arrive home. I hope all of this will allow Cameron to "catch up" some and to be prepared to have a successful year at Florence El. which is the school she will attend next year.

Please continue to lift up the Jagger Family. Their little girl Tessa (same surgery as Cam's) got out but had to be re-admitted due to a temp of 104 and swelling on her brain. They are very strong and are taking things in stride but it was an unforeseen setback. Tessa little body is working hard to fight this infection and I will keep you posted on her progress.

Take care and everyone have a fun and safe 4th. Love The Motts
