Shaylie Goes to Nero-Intensive Therapy
Donation protected
Hello everyone… we have some amazing news. Shaylie has been accepted to attend an intensive therapy program that is designed to help kids with Traumatic Brain Injuries. In case you are new to knowing us Shaylie was hit by a car in a crosswalk at age 3. Due to her a brain injury she lost everything she knew. At Age 4 she was evaluated as a 5 month old. She couldn’t sit up, walk, talk, or eat. We have been on a 4 1/2 year long road to recovery. She is now 8 1/2 with an estimated evaluation of 6 1/2 years old.
The intensive therapy program is called Napa Center, Napacenter.org if you want to look it up, it’s so interesting. She will be in the program for 3 weeks for 5 hours a day. During the 5 hours they use amazing therapy tools like Neurosuits, Dynamic Movement Intervention, Spidercage, Redcord System (an active neuromuscular treatment) and Theratogs (an undergarment orthotic). These amazing tool are designed to re- train the brain to communicate proper alignment to the body so our sweet girl can run, jump, and ride scooters again. Yes Lord!!
Napa Centers (no where near Napa California) are all over the country Boston, Austin, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles. We are on the waiting list for all locations during summer break and are booked for one October 2025.
Shaylie and I (Erica) will travel together and stay the entire 3 weeks. Emma and Shannon will stay home in Reno. We hope that Shannon and Emma will get to join us at the end of each trip as it nice for them both to get to see Shaylie’s improvements. We are reaching out for help with cost of travel, food, rental car, and gas during the 6 weeks Shaylie and I are traveling. We know this program will get her the changes that we dream of. We have been to 4 already and it has completely changed her. We have been on a long and slower than expected road to recovery. We pray this will get all of us the results we dream of full recovery. We pray this message find you all healthy and happy. We can’t wait to share as we tackle this next journey.
