We are back to "normal"

Morgan is FINALLY over her chickenpox. She is no longer contagious. It will be a while before all the spots are gone but, at this point we are just happy they have all dried up. Today was her first day out of the house and I think she was happy to have some new scenery. We were both excited to see a little snow falling as well.
Morgan had her 9 month check up and the Dr. said she is doing great! We also saw the physical therapist today and Morgan got quite a work out. She hasn't made that much improvement since her last appointment. I think the chickenpox slowed us down a little. She wasn't interested in me stretching her neck or doing any of the other activities, we are suppose to be doing, while she was sick. Hopefully, now that she is better, we will start moving forward again.
Morgan has now had her helmet on for about 3 1/2 weeks and we are so happy with how much her head has already improved. We really didn't expect to see such a major change so early. I think this should be credited to all of the prayers being said on her behalf. We are looking forward to her next appointment in Nashville in just 2 weeks.

Improvement already that is wonderful news. I'm glad Morgan is feeling better.

That's great that she is feeling up to speed now.

Improvement at 3 1/2 weeks is awesome. Did the doctors give you an estimate of how long she would be wearing the helmet? or is it just a wait and see process?

She should be in it for around 3 to 4 months. We are praying for no longer than 3 months. We are going to Disney World and really don't want her to have to wear it there due to the heat. We will just have to see what happens.
