Still trying hard...

   Today was an okay day for Priscilla. She is getting frustrated with trying to achieve some of her therapy goals. Getting into the car is easier for her than getting out. The past two days she has practiced transferring in and out of the car, but today she was in a lot of pain afterwards.  In her frustration she wanted to give up and said she just needed a van. I kept telling her how well she was doing and trying to encourage her to stay positive and continue to work hard.

    Scilla is having a better afternoon and  her pain is better controlled after her hardwork this morning. They also changed her wheelchair to one that is more compact and foldable; also this is suppose to be closer to the one she will actually take home. Scilla doesn't really care for this chair because it a specialized chair and for her it feels constricting and she feels like she is squeezed into it. The following are pictures from practicing transferring in and out of the car :

She was super excited to try getting in the car for the first time since her accident.

Rolling up to the car on Monday, April 19, 2010 for day 1 of practice.

Resting. We had no idea something as simple as getting into a car after her accident would be so hard. It makes you thankful; I hope it gets easier for her.

Day 2, Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Trying to get out of the car. This has proven to be the most difficult part of the transfer. It caused her a lot of pain and frustration and we are hoping that God continues to give her strength, healing, and faith that she CAN DO IT!
