This blog was originally dedicated to update my friends and family on the details of my recovery from a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). I later began writing myself and now use this blog to document my journey through life with a spinal cord injury.

Kate's Day with Carson (9 year old sister)


I got to go spend a day with Carson at the hospital.  I wanted to be with him so that he would  know that I supported him and I would be able to see what he does during the day.  I got to meet all of the people who work with Carson.  They were all  really nice. In O.T. (occupational therapy)  Danielle put these gloves on Carson that would give him a little bit of electricity that would move his hands. After that Lindsey gave him some Thera-putty.  It's like  play dough so he could squeeze it for his grip and he would put it in-between his fingers and stretch it out. They gave me some too so I could do it with him.  It was really fun and gooey.   In P.T. (physical therapy) Aaron would throw a ball and Carson would hold a long stick sideways and hit the ball back.  Garrett  helped Carson so that he could  balance. When we were all done I got to go back to Carson's room and spend time with him.  It was a fun day.
