Some time back, my little one and myself were playing and using our hands as puppets. We named them and since that time her left arm became Glen and her right arm became Ruby. This has been a HUGE benefit. No "left", "right", "good" or "bad". It's been mostly fun to use the names. Also, I can say things like "Ruby's not sharing with Glen enough.I think Glen needs to have a turn too. It's only fair." Ruby and Glen can have feelings, be tired, be silly, or whatever just fits.

This week is our next big surgery. Three tendon transfers. Thus, Glen is getting a makeover.

that is so clever. and funny. hope "glen" does well.

Brillant and Practical, MOm!!
I will be thinking of you both and saying a prayer re surgery this week.
