We had our consultation with a physical therapist after Olivia's chemo today. As I have mentioned before, Olivia is showing signs of a foot drop because of the chemo she is taking. Once in a while she has been complaining about her leg hurting. Her doctor had advised for her to see a physical therapist. Upon examining Olivia, the therapist does not think Olivia will need a brace at this point. She will undergo therapy for now and will attend 30 min sessions every time we're at the hospital for chemo. We'll be doing some of the exercises here at home as well.
She enjoyed her visit today and loved playing in the balance beam and the giant exercise ball. Can't wait for her to get well and be able to attend gymnastics lessons!
Who would think this girl is getting chemo?! Just look at her energy! This was her last night having too much energy before bedtime. She did some yoga after dancing to relax. Great way to end the day and have a good night's sleep.
I love reading this blog, ET. I am so inspired by Olivia. -tin lazo
