Welcome to Julia's Site!

This blog is made available for several reasons. First and foremost, to keep those that know Julia current with what is going on with her and her progress. It is also my intention to educate those who do not know Julia about what happened to her, so they can make educated decisions about their own children. I want to welcome those of you with questions about her disease, treatments, and just the general life (the good and the bad) of living with a brain damaged child. Finally, it is a therapeutic release for me, Julia's mom, Susan. I love writing and need to get some of this stuff out of my head and onto "paper". Thank you!

Ophthamology appointment

I have scheduled Julia with an Ophthamology appointment on the 20th just to make sure Julia's eyes are OK, as with brain injuries, and especially those resulting in hemiplegia (one sided weakness) often affect their eyesight. My gut tells me all is OK with her eyesight, but I just want to make sure before her Vaccine Injury settlement comes through later in the year (maybe). If she has issues, they will have to cover this as well.

I am going to also schedule an audiology appt for the same reasons - brain injuries often affect hearing - and just want to make sure she is ok, and I think she is, before the settlement.

Trying to get all my "ducks in a row" before the final settlement....if she needs help, it needs to be documented.

Will let you all know how she does....

She did great in PT today - she actually hung and swung from a bar today! I have video and will post if i can figure out how......and to think three years ago she couldn't even walk....GO JULIA!!!!

We will get through this baby girl! And our education is WORKING!
