We have a big week coming up next week, so I am planning ahead and trying to get it all down on paper.
Monday I will be attending a conference with Ellie. The conference is about "Active Learning" and will show us ways to stimulate her brain growth despite her severe physical limitations. The activities we learn about with use sound, movement, and cause-and-effect to hopefully give Ellie some feedback. Tuesday we will be having a one-on-one session to come up with an individual plan for Ellie. I am excited to come up with a routine for Ellie that will stimulate her and keep her occupied too.
Wednesday Ellie will have her bladdar re-tested to see if the deflux surgery was successful. It will also monitor the kidney damage and see if things are the getting worse or maybe even better.
On Thursday, we are back at the hospital for Ellie's nerve biopsy surgery. The neurosurgeon will be taking a piece of nerve from E's ankle and it will be tested to see if it is functioning properly. We're hoping the surgery goes off without a hitch like last time and that we can come home right afterward. We are not sure when we will get the results of the biopsy either.
So, the busyness continues. We're praying for a smooth week and that the tests and surgery will bring good news!

PHEW! What a busy week for sure! But, it sounds as if things are "happening" which must be a good feeling. All I can say is that the NEXT week, you sure deserve to lounge around in your PJ's for a few days :)
