This year was identifying the medication that helped to shrink the nerve in her neck. We saw she has greater use of her neck and able to open her jaw wider then ever before. She is able to use her arm off to the side and below the shoulder. If she puts her arms above her head for to long she does show pain. She has been able to identify her medical symptoms clearer then ever before. So this year our visits to the Neurologist we will bring these symptoms to her attention. With Chloe being in what appears to be much less pain she is able to identify and describe her symptoms with more clarity.
Chloe will continue to work with Molly her fitness trainer to develop stamina in using her arms away from her body. We will also start to investigate a job coach who might help her start at a 10 hour a week job that would help with this arm stamina. Also Chloe continues work on I pad educational games and improve her skills on other computer tasks while trying to improve her skills not able to do before like folding laundry and zipping her coat.
Chloe accomplish a lot this year but still has more to do!
