For the last 2 weeks, Claire has been able to go to the pool @ Salem Rehab for her physical therapy. Admittedly I probably enjoy it more than she does. Rehab keeps their pool a balmy 94 degrees and the anti-gravity on my pregnant hips feels awesome. Last week Claire worked really hard in the pool and had a great time...being very vocal and giving lots of smiles. Getting in the pool helped her brain realize she move her arms and legs against gravity even outside the pool environment. Claire has been lifting both her legs at hip level and putting her feet in the air even while lying down. We are so excited for this progress! Claire is also using her right arm against gravity quite a bit and beginning to use her left arm...again...huge progress for Claire! All of Claire' therapists are extremely excited by her progress in the last couple of weeks....as are we. Thank you for the continued prayers for our precious girl!
We have to put saran wrap & tape over Claire's g-tube before going into a public pool.
Claire all ready to go and get in the pool.On a side note...Tristan is expected to arrive in 6 weeks...my how time has flown! With a couple of exceptions I have had another model pregnancy...however I am looking so forward to no longer being pregnant 18 out of the last 24 months is a bit much...but I just keep reminding myself that God's plan is ALWAYS the right plan. Tristan's arrival will no doubt be tough and a big adjustment but we couldn't be more excited to have our newest addition. With God's guidance, peace, and comfort we will get through our transition without too much anxiety.
Much love~The Hales Family

ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration your updates are to me. What strength it takes to lean on the unseen and trust in his mighty power to redeem and restore, to resolve and deliver. Praise our God, for already he has overcome.
Thanks for keeping me humble:)
