52.
That is the number of times you tried to get your daughter to lie down today and she refused. Maybe it was not really 52, but you kept asking and she kept refusing. You tried to keep her in bed by force when she stood up, she pushed back and she is so strong and it is a struggle to make her do what she does not want to. She loved being by the window today so she had a lot of her therapy time there today. You were also able to go outside to the garden for awhile. She had ice cream today, and also had good luck swallowing some water. In addition, she was able to have her first pedicure in more than two months.
