I thought we would let you know how Maddie is adapting to her new prosthetic. It is actually something we are all getting used to. The morning after we got the prosthetic I completely forgot to put her arm on until later in the day. I imagine it will take a few weeks to make it part of our daily routine. When she does wear it, which is about 3 hours a day, she seems fine with it on and is able to move it fairly well. She looks at it as if to say, "what is this over here on my left side?" I am hoping to teach her how to use it to balance herself on furniture, but know this will take us all time to get used too. She is still scooting around the condo with or without her arm on, and continues to surprise us each day. This is such a fun age because their brains soak up so much and everything is new to them. I'll continue to keep you updated with pictures as well on how she is doing:o)
Maddie's Birthday is this coming friday, so that will be a very, very special day to celebrate! She is still a fighter 1 year later!
Have a good week!
