Wanted to send a quick note to let everyone know that we got to go home today. Claire is walking around the living room, playing with Colton and having a good time.
We did get to talk with the Occupational Therapist before we left today and she gave us some good tricks to continue to help Claire's left arm continue to progress. She is doing so much better with each day. As you well know, Amanda and I will push that little girl with some intense home therapy. In addition, we will schedule some OT with the Childrens close to home.
We got to talk with the Neurologist after the MRI. Claire did have some spots on both sides of her brain from watershed stroke. The majority of the spots were on the right side which would be why she has lost some function in her left arm. They mentioned that they are not concerned with a loss of function in her eye but would like to continue to follow up in the stroke clinic at Nationwide over the next month. The area of her brain effected could also judgement and impulsivity. Ofcourse since Claire is so young, we cannot assess that at this time and we will never know the full impact because we will just know Claire for Claire. I did joke with Amanda and tell her that Claire and her are no longer allowed to go shopping together because Claire has a deficiency in impulsivity. That is a bad combination for a shopper. Thank you all for your continued prayers.
Claire will go back to have an X-Ray next week to be sure that the small amount of water in her lung continues to decrease.
Love you all
