Christina did very well at her first session of aquatic physical therapy. Jeff, her instructor, did a great job with her. I am confident Christina will benefit from the sessions.

I am always a little concerned when starting with a new person. Jeff was calm and steady with Christina. Before the session was done Christina even gave him a kiss. Christina showed similar signs to when we are in the pool together. It did not take her long to relax enough to enjoy the water.

Christina had her first aquatic physical therapy on Tuesday. Christina did wonderful. It started with crying, but did not take long for her to relax and enjoy the water.

Jeff did a great job. It shows that he has worked with kids before. We will give this round of sessions a try and see how it goes. I think Christina will continue to do great and will enjoy her PT time in the water.

Christina has also been walking super well in the gait trainer. Again she makes quick work of the deck. The princess waked for an hour and a half straight last Sunday. That did not stop her either. Christina was super excited to play outside all weekend.

I read the first part of a blog yesterday and it interested me. I was at work so I printed it so I could read it better. It hit close to home. More like it hit too close. I made it through a few paragraphs and had to stop. It is not an article I can read while at work.

Many of the items Julie describes I also do with Christina. Makes me think about that precious time I spend with the princess.

Here are a few photos from Christina's last hospital visit.

Hospital Wagon Rides

The snow that came really set me back with stuff around the house. And I had more pictures than usual.

Today I shall get caught up. Laundry almost done. Dishes were done so there is not much more. Pictures uploaded to Christina's blog. Snow blower broke and is fixed. Ugh. I am not a fan of small engine repair.

Next put the laundry away and then send more thank you's.

Cheers.

Christina has been feeling much better. She has expressed herself with her five year old attitude. Definitively a good sign.

We went to watch the Polar Plunge. Mommy and Crystal jumped for Team Squishy.

Christina has been doing great with reading and math. And the weather has been clear enough to walk outside in the gait trainer.

I will get some pictures up soon.

This site is a must check out.

Every story of being in the hospital is different. After reading a few of the posts, I can tell you that there are many similarities with my own story.

Enjoy. And be ready to shed a tear.

Not much change, but wanted to post something to try and get back into the habit.

Christina is feeling better. The parent/teacher conference went well and was informative.

I am fighting off a cold/flu. Very ready to play with the princess outside.

Christina's parent teacher conference was yesterday. Christina is a joy to have in class.

Christina does well with the other children and they enjoy interacting with her.

I also got some new ideas for tools for activities. And we are coming up with a game plan for Christina's iPad.

Christina is continuing to feel better and I think is read to go back to school.

Ahhh... it is good to be home.

Christina is feeling much better. We must keep an eye on her for a few weeks, but I am confident the princess is done with this round of sickness.

It was nice to snuggle with Christina, but I'd rather not have her in the hospital. Maybe Christina and I can have some extra snuggle time every few weeks. It was very peaceful resting with the princess when she was not in pain. I did not sleep well, but is was very peaceful in its own way.

Christina's diagnosis is serum sickness and drug eruption caused by the antibiotic she was taking for the respiratory sickness she caught the week before.

It was so hard on Christina. She was in so much pain and discomfort. Christina was quite the trooper and did her best in the hospital.
