Yesterday Annie was inconsolable in the morning as the staff orthotist, Miss Helenlyn, casted Annie’s legs in order to make new AFO braces. Can you see her tear-streaked face behind the shells?
Then in the afternoon, she was beyond thrilled to meet Spider-Man, who came to visit all the kids on the floor. She was the first one in the room when he arrived, came back to decorate the superhero mask and cape that he gave her, went back to show him her cape, then asked him to come see her room. Before yesterday, I’m almost positive she had no idea who he was, but he’s now her favorite superhero!
And I woke up this morning with agonizing back spasms. I must have tweaked it when I carried her to and from the potty at 1:30 am. As soon as she gets picked up for PT, I’m heading down to Walgreen’s for a heating pad and some ibruprofen.
