It has been a very long time since my last post! I have been so busy catching up on feeling good, working out, and resting I have not been able to write so much! So, much has happened since my last post. Lets see where should I start?
I am progressing daily with Sofia. The other day she had me putting weight into my hands. She was so happy and proud of me and of course my parents were thrilled! Sofia is a great PT I really like working out with her she has a very special way in handling me and always seems to get me to do things that she wants me to do! I am getting stronger again. I am lifting my legs and holding things in my hands. I am almost back to where I was before I got sick.
April was a very hot month! Do you remember last year when I got that horrible bug burn that was as bad as second degree burn? Well it happened again! Less than a year and I have this red spot on my neck again. My parents said no way that this could be the peeing bug again in the same exact spot. We sent pictures off to a pediatric dermatologist who said I had Intertrigo. It is common in kids and basically a heat rash gone out of control. He told my mom to put some special cream on it and within hours it started to disappear. It took almost a month for it to completely go away. The doc said the heat and humidity out here does not help the intertrigo and since I dont move my neck alot I can easily get the intertrigo. So he recommended a preventive ointment that I have to put on twice a day and it seems to be helping keeping things under control. Unfortunately I was not able to swim this whole time which was a bummer for me! Yesterday me, mom, dad, and Sofia went swimming and I had so much fun! It was great to be back in the water.
Life is good right now.
