According to the therapist...

... and I quote: "Maya is doing great in therapy. She is tolerating therapy a lot more and is also choosing which activities to participate in each day! Her ability to open and close her hands independently for grasp has improved greatly this week. Maya also has obvious increases in her strength and range of motion. As of today, Maya has participated in 60+ hours of therapy and is making gains each day. Most importantly, Maya is more conscious of her right hand and uses it more spontaneously. It has been a great week!"

Upon request, a video of Leela:



And another video of Maya crawling (therapeutic term: weight bearing). It's good for developing more strength in her shoulder. She needs some encouragement though, because for her it's sooo 5 months ago... Luckily, she has a very enthusiastic grandmother!
