Amazing Madelyn Grace: A day for fresh air.

Hello! So sorry for my lack of posting yesterday, but that just means y’all get two whole days of content! Whoop whoop!

Mad has had a couple of very emotional days, but they have also been days of good progress. She’s strong enough to walk without her walker, and she got to go outside today and take a stroll and get some fresh air! She rests a lot these days after PT and OT since she’s up and a lot more active.

They say her face is looking good and she’s working on her hands every day to get the skin stretched and flexible. OT has given her this little apron that has buttons, velcro and zippers on it so that she can practice using her hands. Some tasks are harder than others, but she’s working hard on getting her hands better!

She’s been eating okay; we had a nice Maggiano’s family dinner this evening in her hospital room and she ate some spaghetti and fried zucchini. She now prefers the chocolate Ensure to the vanilla, so she sips on that throughout the day.

Today, we got her new iPad set up that was gifted to her from her friends at CIS! Luckily, her laptop survived the fire and we were able to set her up with her Apple ID so she has all her apps and things. She’s excited to finally get back to scrolling on TikTok; think of it as a good hand exercise!

Overall, good stuff! She has been tearful and anxious about when she gets to go home, but with all her progress she will be up and out of there sooner than we know it!

Talk to y’all soon! XOXO!
