Family therapy in an International Peace Park helps recovery!


Emma was doing so good with her halo we decided to head to Canada so she could have cousin therapy! Nate wasn't able to go:(. So Thanks to my mother-in-law who took responsibility for Levi in the day (Nate had him at night.) We were able to go for a week. She did really well and her energy level increased a ton just in the week we were there. She continues to have a great attitude with the whole situation, with only occasional outbursts of frustration with having this contraption on! (Who wouldn't have those!)

We go the second week in August for an X-ray to see how the fusion is taking, then we will meet with her neurosurgeon, and hopefully get a better idea how long this thing will be on. We are planning on staying in Cali till the halo comes off. Then we will move to AZ. So our life continues to be on a month to month bases.
Emma hiked up to Blackeston Falls. It is a short little hike, just 1.5 kilometer. They did lots of crafts. Flew kites. Made regatta boats to send down the river. Trips to the candy store. Her favorite part was just hangin with her cousins.
