Since the
start of our journey to help Chloe recover from this bulging disc that caused this
muscle disorder. The Doctors said a right mother for a right kid. I have been a
medical social worker that helped clients in a group home work through a number
of health issues to stabilize these issues and improve the quality of their life
for 20 plus years.
I was
surprised how my daughter recovery took a whole lot of opinions and surprise treatments
that helped to figure out what would be the right direction to proceed.
In January
the medication with serotonin was introduced and the bulging disc was in the
mild state but we were still not getting a lot of arm and shoulder movement.
Since the introduction of this medication the arms, trunk and shoulders seemed
to wake up. Chloe now has much better control and seems to be continuing to
improve. We are very lucky to work with physical therapist and occupational
therapist during this time who kept one step ahead of Chloe’s progress.
The goal is
to tone up all the many muscles in Chloe’s chest, arms and shoulders then see
possible get off the medication one day. This will be an adventure that still
has many unanswered questions. Hopefully next year, possibly a part time job
while she works with a personal trainer to continue to maintain and develop
these newly awaken muscles.
This is a
recovery of many muscles I am grateful for the exercise routines that the professional
lay out for us. I am grateful that my college degree and my work experience
help me handle some rough times too.
We will
continue to push ahead on an unknown path and hope for continued success.
