After she was finished with Beth, Olivia spent an hour with Stef, one of the P.T.A's who started her with her stretching and exercises. We were finished at 9:00 a.m. and had to be back at noon for a group session. We went back to the hotel for a short while and then went back to downtown Stevens Point and walked around a bit, shared a light early lunch and then sat by the river and watched the ducks before it was time to go back to the center. It was a gorgeous day. Sunny, a slight breeze and 80 degrees.
How cute are they!We went back to the Rehab Center at noon for an educational session. It was nice, as we got to meet the other girls/families who will be here for the next two weeks. There are four other girls. One from Texas, one from Colorado, one from New Jersey and one from Louisiana. They range in age from eleven to sixteen. During this time, Beth talked to us basically about anatomy and the proper way to move, sit, bend, etc. It was very interesting and eye opening. It's no wonder my back always hurts! When we were done with this session, we had an hour before Olivia's next P.T. session. It was so beautiful out, we decided to walk back to the river and just chill. We kicked off our shoes, and enjoyed the sunshine!
After relaxing for about half an hour, we were getting restless, so we thought we'd walk around and look at some of the Stevens Point Downtown Murals. They are really cool! These are two of them:
We then went for Olivia's P.T. session, which was with Beth. She went over everything that Stef taught her, plus a bit more. Olivia did great. When we were finished, Olivia was exhausted and all she wanted to do was get a manicure. So....we found a nail place. Aren't they pretty!
We brought pizza back for dinner and now she's resting. Her first appointment tomorrow is not until 10:15, so she'll get to sleep in. I'll probably still be up at 5:30.
