A couple weeks back Faith had an appointment at the Concussion Clinic. She is slowing improving in several ways-- better concentration, less fatigue, better sleeping, less emotional and such. However, she has really struggled with dizziness and her balance. In fact, when the neuropsychologist who will manage her treatments saw her try to balance she said, "Oh... that is the worst I've ever seen with a concussion." So that's not good.
She was referred for balance therapy and vision therapy. Last week she started her balance therapy. In addition to several exercises she does daily, she is to use these walking sticks to help her be steadier on her neighborhood walks. They are really helpful for her. She resisted them at first, but little by little she has warmed to them and now even named them-- Direction and Magnitude.
It called or a photoshoot:)
It's a long, slow road, but everyone we've worked with believes she will make a full recovery. I am so glad she is more and more back to her normal self, including a healthy dose of humor, sass, sweetness, and stubborn determination.
