She's doing well. She continues to improve her speech everyday. We went out to dinner for my Dad's birthday today and she ordered her food without a problem. She was talking to the waiter and asked for what she needed. She could not have done this a week ago. She is getting better at asking for what she needs. She still has difficulty with pronouns. She gets I and you and me confused the most.
Megan started going back to Spaulding for outpatient therapy last week. She will now go there 3 times a week. From what she told me it has been going well. She is always exhausted when she gets home. Right back to the couch she goes!
I believe I wrote this in my last post, but Megan is quite bored while at home. Thank goodness there were a couple new episodes of Criminal Minds on tonight. As long as she was entertained...I won't be sleeping for a couple days. Needless to say they were pretty scary.
The most frustrating thing for Megan at the moment is wanting to be independent. She is tired of asking everybody for help and telling someone she needs to go somewhere before she is allowed to walk. I understand her frustration, but at the same time it is still scary because she isn't 100% stable in her walking. She is getting better, but every once in a while we have a miss step. She has gone out on a couple outings with her friends without any of us and she has had a lot of fun. It's scary for us because we can't monitor her all the time, but this is what we were hoping would happen. She will get to a point where she won't need anybody to watch over her, just like she was before.
That is all for now! Hopefully new updates to come. As some of you know Megan doesn't always like her picture taken. I have been trying to take new pictures of her, but she isn't as excited as I am. I'll work on it to give you guys an update on how great she's looking!!
