We decided to take a break from posting to Layla's page so we all could adjust after her coming home but we didn't mean to take so long coming back 😅 we're sorry
Layla has been back to school since the end of October. She has a para-pro to help her get around the school, help her get to her classes without being trampled, help her carry her things, ensure she takes mental breaks and more. Layla has basically been doing "practice school" because she missed the whole first quarter, so the first semester's grades wont count. After Christmas, Layla's participation in school will actually count towards grades again!!! Layla's speech has improved a LOT!! She sounds like herself again, her speed of talking has improved, she doesn't get lost finding the right words to say often anymore either. Layla is right handed and we had a lot of worry as to whether or not she'd recover much of her right side but Layla's hand writing is completely normal again and she is walking so much better too! Layla has enough stamina now to make it thru the whole school day as well! Layla will continue to improve as time goes by and we've been told repeatedly by doctors that it could take up to year or two to recover to her best of her abilities. Layla has regained a lot of independence recently and we're hoping that her next doctors appointment can let us know if she's ready to restart any extracurricular activities like snowboarding again in the near future 😊
