The weather affects people with Cerebral Palsy, it is still humid and voggie. In-spite of this Jewel's body is not all twisted and spasmy. Could it be that she was in the stander for 1hr 20min. today. Monday it was 2hrs, Tue. 2hrs, Wed. 1hr 45min. Could this accumulative and consistent time in stander help? We have been administering Calm water which has helped with daily number twos :)
Cindy took Jewel riding today, Raven and I tagged along. Cindy leads the horse and Raven and I are the side walkers. Cookie Dough did not look chipper today, so Raven washed him with some water to cool him down. This seemed to do a lot of good for the 'ol feller. Cindy and Raven groomed the horse. Cindy has taught us to love the horses and to be confident and safe, thank you Cindy.
Today at horses Jewel had to go, and like a cowgirl we went behind the shed. I bagged it up intending to take it back with us and forgot, guess it will be there for us tomorrow, oopsie.
Such a magnificent world of being diaper free, it is worth the work. Kandi left the nice new saddle in the shed and it is light and works nicely for Jewel.
Today Jewel rode for 25min and did 21 push ups on Cookie Dough. Her posture was good as long as Raven and I co-ordinated pushing her elbows into her torso and holding her foot in the correct position, then everything else seemed to line up and Jewel sat up nice and tall!
It is exhilarating to live in these moments, where you are present and everything is lining up nicely. So I will not say any more tonight.
-"Aim at a high mark and you will hit it. NO, not the first time, not the second time, and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect. Finally you'll hit the bull's-eye of success." quote by Annie Oakley
Annie was one of the many females we read about when the girls were little, we learnt about Elizabeth Blackwell, Clara Barton, Elizabeth Fry just to mention a few.
