Physical Therapy

So, Kristina told me that a doctor finally got in to see Sara and see how she is progressing as far as regaining movement. Or rather, The Doctor happened to show up as Sara's limbs were being moved around. The doctor was apparently not aware of how often we do that when we visit Sara and was somewhat surprised. The doctor did a little bit of work with Sara for himself and was surprised at how much muscle tone she had. After realizing how much difference there was to Sara letting her limbs go limp, and fighting the movement as best she can, The doctor asked her how much physical therapy she wanted. To which she spelled out for the doctor: "As much as I can get." So the doctor ordered Physical therapy for Sara three times a day. This is great for Sara, because now her limbs will be getting moved even when we aren't there to do it for her. And its a huge step for her in regaining control of her limbs.
