Eating - great therapy!


When I arrived to pick Summer up at daycare yesterday, the kids were having 'late snack'. I watched her from the door while she handled the tongs, picking up her banana slices. I could see it was difficult for her, but she was trying hard.

I pulled up a chair and sat with her while she ate. She also managed to drink out of an open cup with no handle, using primarily her open right hand, but her cast to steady it. Her teacher was impressed with this (we had been practicing this at home), as she has been using a sippy cup with a handle at daycare for the duration of the casting.

We are looking forward to cast removal tomorrow!
