The week in review...Monday was quite a day as she experienced trying a new "swing" at p.t. that was difficult for her. She had also lost her head and trunk control Sunday night again.
Then we were off to UC Davis for a follow up with the rehab doctor. We got some good info. from the appointment but also it became more clear that we need to push for the second opinion. (This doctor is also sending over a referral to the same pediatric neurologist that her other doctor recommended. Pray for an opening soon). It also was traumatic for her being back at UC Davis. The one bright spot of the afternoon was that her dear friend and former teacher Mrs. Shapley joined us for the excursion!
Another thing that came out of the appointment though was that they confirmed what we wanted to do about sending her to school in August. We are working on filing the paperwork so that the district provides the necessary accomodations and an aid so she can atleast go to school part time in the fall.
Tuesday morning her head control started coming back (yeah!) 
and we were off early to accompany Becca to her horseback riding lesson. Katelyn loved watching the horses and getting nuzzled by them. Later, some of her dear friends came over to paint nails with her, then they painted using the "paintbrush in the mouth technique" and then helped me with getting her in the pool.

Wednesday morning we were off early to p.t. and had a great day there with her back and neck strength continuing to improve. At the end of the session, she started having some head spasms again but they lasted less than 10 minutes this time! Then with the help of my p.t. friend and her 4 year old, we were off to watch the horses practice for the rodeo
and then the parade at noon with the cattle drive. After a good LONG nap, she headed out last night to youth group and enjoyed the worship there with some friends.

Becca is very merciful at turning pages for Kate as long as it doesn't require her taking her eyes off her own book!
We continue to look for God in each moment and rely on His strength. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
