After months of groaning and eye rolling when Meghan drinks her fresh juice, Meghan finally convinces our nurse, Anne, to sample it. So they toast, "To Meghan's Health" and Anne drinks.................and then groans and rolls her eyes some more. We laughed! But Anne, if you ever find yourself sick and in need of strengthening your body, think "Juice Therapy".
Our last OT therapy with Anne. She calls Meghan "My Smiley One" and she let Meghan pick her favorite activity.....spatial design for the brain.
And a last speech therapy with Becky. Meghan adores Becky: They laugh and talk together like friends. I think it's probably because they are both gentle souls and they understand each other.
Lauren "tortures" Meghan for the last time. Physical therapy is definitely the toughest for Meghan. Lauren works her until the muscles hurt. You might miss Lauren though...we're going back to Mark, the Clarence PT--he makes her laugh and then he exhausts her.
One final visit with Kim, the Child Life Specialist. On the agenda today: Nail painting and dog walking.
We began the trip with Meghan calling the local geese "Stupid Geese". Perhaps it's Karma that on the last day, we meet Mr and Mrs Goose and their goslings. (Who, according to Meghan, aren't "Stupid Geese" until they grow up.)
This photo show somewhere that Meghan hasn't been. This is my serenity walk. During all surgeries, many therapies and even during rain, I have walked this 5 mile loop around the Charles River. I have asked many questions here, and received many answers.
How could I resist this photo? I stare at this little sleeping face each and every night, and I pray that whatever is in her "highest good" will manifest.
What does Boston have that we don't have right here in Clarence? We have plenty of st#%$@ geese (we're not allowed to use the "s" word). We have nice people. We don't have the Charles river, but Tonawanda Creek is close enough. OK, Boston does still have the Bruins in the NHL playoffs (until game 7 against the Flyers at least). One important thing Clarence has that Boston doesn't? HOME.
