Weekend after week 3

So, one of the great things about constraint therapy is that every day, all day is therapy. The picture on the left shows Madalyn playing with sand at the zoo with left hand. Then she petted the goats, with left hand. Then she held a heavy popsicle with left hand. All the while she was having fun and didn't mind that the tasks were a little harder than if she had her right hand available.

I'm feeling the same way I did last year at the end of week 3. That is, sort of sad to see the cast go. Always wondering how much better it could get with "just one more week". When I told Katera how I was feeling she chuckled and said she hears that with almost ever family.

But, I am motivated to keep up the work at home, even if we don't have the cast on.
