first day of the last week

So this is the first day of the last week of Lily's PPRC program. I dropped Lily off and then went back to the hotel to pick up the boys and took them over for a quick visit. The boys came very close to actually getting in the therapy pool. The pool is very cool, well actually it is very warm, and it is one of those pools where you swim laps against a current, so Lily has actually been able to practice some of her strokes. Paul brought her practice flippers out. When I ordered them I couldn't imagine her being able to put them on. So they are going to help her learn to put them on and work through the pain. Before she would have fought even the idea of putting them on her feet, and now she knows it will be tough but that they will help her make it happen. Once again, I am so, so very glad we came here.

Yesterday was another gorgeous fall day. We went apple picking and also enjoyed some yummy cider donuts. Then we did some hiking at Prospect Hill Park, the park near the hotel. Lily did it all with out complaining or sitting out. She even did some PT while we were standing around at the overlooks. It was another full day, she was so proud to be moving so much. Everybody was very tired at the end of the day. We ordered a movie for the kids, they really enjoyed "Kung Fu Panda", although it may not have been the best idea for the end of the day, in a hotel room, they got a little amped up.

Ok, on with the rest of our week and then it's back home in just 4 days! Yippee!!
