Courtney had a good day today without alot of restlessness.
She is taking the cup in her right hand and drinking from it. She even knows enough to tilt the cup and her head back all the way at the bottom!
Courtney is also using a spoon lifting it to her mouth and feeding herself ice chips.
She's definitely ready to eat real food and that will happen after her surgery this week.
Courtney is actively moving everything - she sat up today without any help and held herself in that position for quite sometime. She is also rolling all the way onto her stomach which makes her very happy since she's normally a stomach sleeper!
Courtney was also following commands today - reaching for teddy bears and giving them to the nurse Marie. All in all it was a very good day before what will be 3 demanding and exhausting days for Courtney.
Tomorrow morning Courtney will travel by ambulance to the Boston Medical for all the pre-op workup during the day tomorrow. Surgery will be Tuesday and she will return here to Braintree on Wednesday.
We hope and pray that the surgery will be a success, that the baclofin pump will ease Courtney's muscle spasticity and that she will bounce back easily and quickly get back to her remarkeable recovery.
As always we'll keep you up to date with how things progress and thank you for your prayers.
