Vanessa's week in Parksville









Miki continued her physio after arriving home in Parksville, this time at Trillium Lodge, an extended care facility with an out patient physio department.











She works hard there twice a week, and does her daily exercises as well, so is progressing really well. No more walker, no more cane.....just gentle exercise, extra strength Tylenol a couple of times a day, and better every day.












Vanessa came up for her riding camp week, and enjoyed taking Chiik for his walks around the house while she was here.









We went to the Tuesday evening market one night, and were able to buy her a new bike at the local bike shop, so Jonah now gets the one we bought her last summer, which is the perfect size for him now. This one is going to be turqoise when we finish with it - pink is just not Nessa's colour any more.....:-)










One evening we went skating at the local rink. Miki was our official photographer, of course.....she is not that much better.















I had not been on ice skates for a hundred years (well, maybe 20), and Nessa had fun pushing me around the rink, but by the time we left after an hour and a half, I had gotten much better.








The Bluebird Riding School is an awesome place for kids. Nessa goes for 5 days, 9 - 3 each day, and rides, mucks stalls, learns about tack, biology, animal health and even got to do some vaulting, which she does every week in Victoria.
