Cleared!

We had another meeting with the physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor that’s worked with us since Jordan was three months old. I’ve used him as a back-up source… And extra eye on Jordan’s care so we can be sure that she’s developing and getting the proper care.

Today we arrived to show off her growing use of her prosthetic, her amazing muscle tone at the base of her little arm and her greatly improving skill of walking — her shoe inserts are really helping steady and straighten her walking.

He was so pleased with her progress that we don’t need to come back… Unless I find a need to meet up with him.

To me, that’s a great relief. It means we are on the right track. The doctor commended me on working hard and getting Jordan everything she needs. He was impressed with her muscle tone in her back and he agreed that we need to keep working on Jordan’s little arm’s strength to help lift her prosthetic up high. He thought the idea of getting Jordan swimming was a good idea. Just holding onto her big arm and getting her to splash with her little arm would be strength-building.

SO hopefully I won’t need to visit with him unless we need his help in getting healthcare approval for a device or any type of procedure that Jordan might need. So far, that isn’t a concern. Who knows what will happen next year when we have a new healthcare plan. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for that.
