• Today was occupational therapy.  She practiced brushing her teeth and washing her face.  She was supposed to do it standing up but when it came time to push herself up from the wheelchair she refused, insisting she could pull herself up by gripping the edge of the sink.  Her little arms weren’t strong enough and she quickly gave up the idea.

  She was always beautiful if you didn’t know her so looking in the mirror and brushing her hair must have seemed pleasantly familiar.  But I had to caution her about the toothpaste.  She was using the toothbrush on her bangs.
