This blog was created to document our experience dealing with Bailey, our 16 year old daughter's stroke. Until September 15th, she was a perfectly healthy, active teenage girl. She is a junior in high school this year. She has a part time job, many friends and a busy social life. She is involved with the marching band, cross country skiing and the school theater group. Her class schedule reads like that of my nightmares - Honors classes, Advanced placement classes and even a "college in school" physics class. She has a smile that shows itself with the slightest of provocation. She is happy, easy going and a bit goofy. Generally, there was no reason to expect any health issues and definitely we would not ever have even thought a stroke was a possibility.

So, this is our story. I am hoping it will help others who experience this sort of misfortune to understand they are not alone. Maybe they are feeling the way we do and will take some comfort our story.

Therapeutic Recreation

Today Bailey had therapeutic recreation today.  She only has this a couple of times a week and I am not really sure what it is about but today we played a game.  It was a dice game version of Sequence.  I have never played Sequence but if it is half as fun as the dice version I think I would love it!  It was a pleasant relaxed way to spend a half an hour in the middle of her therapy schedule and I was glad to see that Bay has not lost her overly competitive spirit!  She was cutthroat and vicious!  I love it.

P.S.  I won the game!  I never win!  It was very exciting.

    Keep it up Bailey, games can help break up the monotony of the day, I know they do for me :). Kristian and I both hope you are doing well.
