June 16th and 17th

Hello everyone. I wrote on Saturday that we were able to take Megan out for a couple hours to go to Christopher's lacrosse game. We were planning on doing that same thing yesterday, but we know better than anyone that things don't always happen according to plan. It turns out that there was a road race and a parade around Spaulding. I was trying to get in with my dad to pick up Megan and my mom. We turned on to Chelsea Rd right before Spaulding, and the road was blocked off. We turned around and tried to get to a place where we could pull over. We talked to my mom and realized that we wouldn't be able go get to get Megan to the car and get to the game in time...what a bummer!

I ended up going to Chris' game with my dad, while my mom and Megan walked around the streets of Charlestown. They walked to Dunkin...of course! (The Wiggins family clearly runs on Dunkin ;)) They also got to watch the parade. I have to say that wasn't exactly Megan's idea of her day out of rehab, but she got a lot of fresh air, which was nice. I went back to rehab after Chris' game, which they won! We walked in to an exhausted Megan. I guess I was a little tired too....
                                                    
A very comfy bed! What you can't see here is my parents both fell asleep as well! We were all wiped. 

Today Megan got to go in the pool for OT and recreational therapy. She wasn't very excited about this, but once she got in it seemed like she had a good time.
 Doing exercised to put pressure on that right leg.



 Taking some steps, with just a little bit of help. This is her OT therapist helping her.

Look at her! No hands!!

The pool has hand rails and a ledge around the pool, so that she could grab on or take a break if she needed to. 

Will update tomorrow on her normal batch of therapies!
