Notable observations from day 3:
-Aimee is paying attention
-She fell off the bed for the first time last night (we're looking at this as a positive event, at least now that we know she is okay)
-a lot of finger play and extending fingers straight
-lifted one leg individually and bent it while keeping the other leg on floor
-kept eyes open more than closed. I took several photos of her and in almost all she had her eyes open. Major change.
-visually tracking therapist during lesson
-continued lightness, noted now in arms as well as whole body. Therapist described to us that the muscles have no abilities unless the brain tells them to act. Aimee's brain is realizing how to communicate with the muscles through her spine and she is beginning to hold herself.
