Big Steps Forward



 Wanted to post an update on Sam’s journey with Functional Neurological Disorder. This girl is a fighter and has been resilient and brave with each step.


She has continued going to OT twice a week and working hard at home. She loves her OT Sarah and reached a big milestone last week of going back on her own with Sarah for therapy. Throughout this journey having me along has helped her to be successful and we knew it was important for her to gain the independence and confidence to go back with just Sarah. Last Friday she did it! 



She has been doing really well at school. This week her friend’s mom took her to school two mornings! This was a huge accomplishment coming from where we were a month ago too! She has been able to jump on the trampoline at therapy and has been climbing and using her body more! Things that used to come naturally are now major wins! She has been working so hard. 


Today she had her PT evaluation with Miss Shelby. She worked so hard and used a lot of muscles! Miss Shelby is confident she can help her get her strength, coordination and muscle movement back again. She will start going to PT weekly.

 

 Her goal is to get back on the soccer field again. She just wants to be able to run again! 

  

Throughout all of these trials, Sam has been such a hard worker. We are so thankful that for the last month we have seen her shine again and she has been her kind, funny and silly self. Now we just have to get her body where she can use it as she wants again!


 

She has a lot of work ahead of her still. Now 3 days a week of therapy, sessions with children’s and pediatricians. She is determined and she will get there!


! Praying for strength and perseverance for our girl!
