Alyssa Goes to Rehab - Day 1

Alyssa has begun her rehabilitation program at Spaulding Hospital.  There are loads of staff to help in her progress including physical therapists (gross motor skills), occupational therapists (fine motor skills), speech therapists, dieticians, child life specialists, nurses and on and on.  They definitely take a team approach to rehabilitation.

Yesterday, a volunteer came to play with Alyssa (Candy Land, of course) while she was transitioning to the hospital.  She, herself, had been in bicycle accident a year earlier where she had damaged her temporal lobe and had lost movement on her right side.  To see her now, a year later, it is really amazing.  She has expericenced a 99.9% recovery of her right side.

Alyssa's bandages were also removed and this latest picture (sort of) shows her quite impressive scar.
