Erin at Physio today!!

Erin's physio session with Micheal

Every thing went really well today at physio. Erin really worked hard but then Mad Micheal is back & she loves him to pieces. She went on to the biodeck for the first time today (which you can see in the video) she had to kick her legs taking turns on each side to see how much & how fast she could kick out & back. She did really well on this & Micheal said for her age she did fantastically well as usually the three year old can only kick between 60-75 but Erin managed 120 on both legs!! Way to go baby. We then had her new splints fitted so shoe shops here we come now she can have proper girlie shoes for the very first time YEAH we are so pleased but may leave the shoe shopping till we get back. She then had a 11am follow up assessment with the lovely Dr Park. He is extremely pleased with her progress & just wants her now to walk walk walk with straight knees no bending. We also met a lovely British Neurosurgeon from Leeds who is over here shadowing Dr Park & looking into SDR. Fingers crossed this could just be the much needed beginning of getting SDR available in the UK. He was extremely impressed with Erin & the changes that have been achieved for her by her having SDR. We are hoping to catch up with him before we leave Saturday as he is here for two weeks & is very interested in everyones views/comments who are out here at the moment. There are seven families out here at the moment. A total four British children having SDR this very week. Good luck guys we wish you all the best & will be thinking of you all. xox
