We have had a busy couple of months, with getting the kids ready to go back to school and all of Ari's appointments. Ari had an appointment at Shriners and had her hips and spine x-rayed all looked good, her hip is still out but hasn't change from the last xray about a year ago and her spine looks good. She also go new AFO's and they gave her a new pair of shoes with them. Now she can start using the walker we bought her.

We also took her to Sarasota Retina Institute for a neuro-ophthalmologic evaluation, she is still cortical blind but he feels that sometimes she is able to see just not all the time. We were hoping to learn of something that would be able to help her see but he said the only thing we could do is lots of stimulation and time. It wasn't what we wanted to hear of course but at least he didn't say she would never see again. He said it was a good sign that she is now able to see sometimes compare to 1 1/2 years ago when she couldn't see at all. Ari also had a GI appointment and everything went well, she hasn't gained any weight since her last visit but they aren't concerned because she is growing and is very healthy looking.

Ari hasn't had much PT or VT the last few months but has been going to OT 3X's a week and she has also been getting ST once a week. In OT Mr. Paul is really working her. He has been putting her on her hands and knees, she knows what to do with her legs she just can't get her arms working just yet but that will come I am sure. He wants to get her to where she can assist us in moving her which will be a big help cause she is getting big. Hopefully we will be getting back to PT this week, hasn't been able to go much between our schedule and her therapist has been having some health problems.
Thank you all for your continued prayers.
