Bryn wunsch-Grafton · 16.07.2025
Dear Family , friends and supporters of Bryn,We finished the first intensive Rehabilitation weeks last Friday, tired and very happy! We just wanted to say that it completely exceeded expectations 🤩🥇⚡️and thank you from our hearts.Here are some highlights:The Goal of the first rehab session from June 30th to July 11th, 2025, at Renona Rehabilitation in Semmering = Remobilisation 1st week: Relaxation of spasticity and reduction of anxiety 2nd week: Bryn actively participates, not just passively treated = keyword: she needs to move herself to become and remain more mobile. Conclusion:Bryn was extremely motivated and made a lot of progress with the help of a very competent and consistent rehab team in a small business, and she had a lot of fun. - It was very beneficial, and she & I noticed it every day, as the care and transfers improved many times over and became a lot less strenuous (despite back pain at end of 2 weeks)- She is much more mobile and active.- Bryn was able to achieve better brain-body coordination, more focus, more self-confidence, and more self-help. - She reactivated her right side a lot including. hand, leg, foot!!- 50% is psychological: She hugely increased confidence and motivation in movement (reduction of fear e.g. "no," "ouch," etc.) - Psychological progress: much more confident, no more "argh," "no," interruptions, a great deal of self-motivation and personal responsibility- 60% of spasticity reduced for now - Bryn now seems more aware of the health of her caregivers (less passive and less in her comfort zone at the expense of her caregivers) - Breathing is much better and more effective; standing while walking, dressing, showering, and grooming is easier. - We are much more positive now looking towards the years and care ahead.There were many take-aways and transfer steps from the debrief on 11.7.25 for back in her community and when she visits or is on holiday with us. The list is 2 pages long and very concrete actions and steps.It was a gamble which totally exceeded expectations. So we agreed her next reha is from 17-28.111.2025 with the goal of building on the 1st Reha results and on the work done from now till then @ her community and with us. It is booked and paid for already from the Crowd fund and the transfers to Bryn’s personal account (and there in her sub-account reserved for Bryns Physio Rehabilitation Costs)And we hope to be able to get her back to hippo-therapy asap (after a year’s break due to search on part of her therapist for a new for riding centre & Bryns physical decline).Many thanks Bryns people and thank you too for having our backs some, it makes a huge difference mentally and practically,Love,BRYN, Ben & Barbara
