Acquire, Day 5

Today was good, but exhaustion is definitely setting it. I know how tired I am, I can't even imagine how fatigued Maddy is feeling. But she's hanging tough!

Her eating is getting better and better.



I'm so proud of how hard she's working. You can see how intensely she has to concentrate just to get her fingers to open up.



Two days ago she could pick up three of these (very heavy) puzzle pieces with a lot of difficulty. Yesterday she picked up ten. Today she did twelve like it was easy peasy.



Today she got to make octopus legs with Play Doh...



...and make a snake with which to scare Ms Ashley with.



Maddy's so exhausted afterwards that even after a nap all she wants to do is snuggle and read books.



One more day....and then a break!

Oh gosh. Tears came to my eyes as I watched. Maddy is such a brave, beautiful, strong soul. What a complete sweet heart. I'm so proud of her... and of you.

I am so, so proud of both you and Maddy! She is so sweet - I bet the therapists are absolutely in love with her :-)
