State side

Day 3 of therapy and by my calculations Ava has had the equivalent of 6 weeks worth of therapy back home. I already see a difference in her muscle definition of her legs. She slept 12hrs straight last night which is unheard of. Ava is certainly working hard. This morning she was in the prone position on her tummy and after awhile rolled from that position onto her back!! Am still being cautious about having too high expectations but its looking positive so far.She was tired yesterday and had a massive paddy in the cage so they had to bring her out, she also pushed in two 20 min unscheduled naps!
The weather is just like back home although I believe you are all still having a heatwave. We arrived after a tropical storm and a new one has begun. Its been raining more or less since we got here. Good job we not on holiday lol. Hope it stops for the weekend because we have a sensory treat in store for Ava, we plan to take her on the fan boat on the everglades which are only an hour from us. She will love the wind and movement.
Where we live are loads of canals made to reclaim the land and the therapist was telling us that the alligators swim up them from the swamps and come into peoples gardens. Alligators are protected so you are not allowed to harm them at all!! We might drive to the west too on Alligator Alley it sounds very adventurous and exciting.
I drove in Florida for the first time today. It was hard not to move my left foot but other than that it was pretty easy. Don't think I would like the interstate like. Its mad on there, every lane seems to be a fast lane and trucks are made to ride in the middle lane!!!! Think I will leave those drives for Mark.
Strange being without Ava, its my first day not in therapy with Ava and we are hauled up in the apartment with the rain. Going to make the tea and do the laundry with the Molster. We have done the food shopping and swung by the 7eleven on the way home- a fast food junkies heaven. I really like their vanilla coffee mmmm.
Can't believe our first week is half over already, we will be home before we know it. Wish we could bring the therapists with us!!
