Day Three May 24th 2011

Spunky little gal! lol

Traction - both legs dropping nicely, left leg is now dropping almost in line w right! :)

Swim - today, see video, she'll get the hang of it!
Important for strengthening without impact.

Massage through the day - hind end still feels tight but less.

Vertical Stretgh Left leg seems stronger than right
Toe flip did not turn over on right

Standing - Toe Flip on left right away, on right 5-10secs
Left stretches nicely, right is stiff.

Second swim session. Still not totally comfortable with the whole experience!
But it will do her a world of good!
Right knee still coming up further than left.
Favoring leg left, right seems to have sporadic movements and not fully extending.

May 23rd - Day Two

When going at a comfortable pace, she seems to be able to keep her feet under her, and moving in the proper fashion.

Traction:
Legs were more relaxed, and side by side.

Massage, still tight on right side.

Seemed to get cold easily today, trembling a bit.

Getting around well, not slowing her down one bit!
