Spaulding Rehab Hospital warned us that this might happen: Meghan's right hand has become so dominant that the left hand isn't pulling it's weight. The automatic arm response between the brain and the left arm has never been re-established. So Mark aka "The Torturer" suggested that we remove the ability to use the right arm by casting it. Now Leftie is going to have to do everything that Meghan needs done. We pray that this will work, Meghan desperately wants two functioning hands again......but it's going to be very frustrating to only have the use of a 25% functioning hand for the next 4 weeks.
She's such a trooper! We just love her!

Meghan - YOU are one brave 13 year old! We will follow your progress, and say lots of prayers for you that it will go well. Just looking through the past months' pictures, I can see all of the progress you have already made.
ReplyDeleteMichaela is really me - Rebecca Billat. ;) I need to figure out how to get my own account!
ReplyDeleteMeghan still makes me smile daily- my favorite moment of the week was when Meghan stopped into the 7th grade office to say hi and I hit the panic button at the sight of the yellow cast. Although Meghan quickly made light of it and giggled as she told me that she didn't break it and "wasn't just forgetting." I wish I could have half her spirit and spunk. Way to go Leftie!!!
