A Tale of Two Cities

In Philadelphia, Sophie is working a Little Mermaid puzzle

In Mechanicsville, Jacob is tanking up on Gancyclovir

In Philadelphia, Sophie is coloring mermaids

In Mechanicsville, Jacob and his dad wonder if those Angry Birds will ever forgive and forget

In Philadelphia, Sophie's plush cat is the life of the party

at the Ronald McDonald House

In Mechanicsville, Samuel adds sea horses to his aquarium

In Philadelphia, Sophie plays with Stella (local therapy dog)

Then Stella takes kitty's place as "life of the party"

Sophie and Samuel

While I discuss Sophie's future PT plans, Mama Martha knits a prayer shawl

and Sophie enjoys some quality down time.

Sophie tried walking on crutches for the first time today.

It was really hard for her but the potential is certainly there.

Truly, she is so mobile in other ways, it will be hard to get her to practice.

Sophie does love this cool hand-propelled bike.

Too bad they cost several thousand dollars.

Meanwhile, at the Goddard School, Samuel explores nature.

Latoya helps Samuel dunk a few hoops.

No hanging on the rim, Thompson!

New PT gadget: the hand-propelled tricycle

We have been impressed with the services and magnitude of cool stuff at CHOR

(aka The Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU)
