The hospital has just started training me to be the primary OT in the NICU - so excited! In addition to working in the hospital, I am contracted with a facility one day a week where I treat 1 adult and 6 children utilizing hippotherapy!!! It is a great balance!" These pictures were taken at about 12,000 feet elevation with a wind chill of about 10*. The dog is my new addition, Mowgli, and the other picture is me and my boyfriend, Corey.

UPdate on 8-3-10: I am currently working at a brand new SNF here in Clarksville, Tennessee. I started working PRN for them in December while keeping my former job and then in February they offered me a full time position. It is a beautiful facility with lots of amenities. Our rehab team is made up of 11 full time therapists/therapy assistants and a rehab tech as well as several
PRN and weekend staff. We stay very busy and I love working there.
We have had our house here in Clarksville for two years now and it is really becoming home. Steve (my husband) is currently on his second deployment with the 101st Airborne Division. He has been in Afghanistan; left for this one year deployment in May and is scheduled to come home for a two week R&R in November.

Update on 2-18-09: "Just wanted to let you all know I had to let Zach go to The Rainbow Bridge today (also known as put him to sleep.) He collapsed at my mom's house, the vet actually went to my mom's house and transported him to the office. They did x-rays, and found cancer in his spleen and lungs, the growths were throughout his chest. He and I had a deal - he couldn't leave me while I was going through all the school nonsense, as I knew it'd be tough to get through all of those stresses and deal with his passing. Yesterday I got the official word from the State of Ohio that I'm a licensed occupational therapist - I got through, and it was his time to go. I'd always promised I'd not let him suffer - my mom and I were with him. He was a great and special dog, especially to me. I'll miss him dearly - as you all can imagine. I just don't want to explain the story multiple times. He was my buddy, I loved him lots - and I'll see him again."

Update on 7-14-10: "I met my now-husband Trevor at Veronica Eckstein-Belickis' wedding, we got engaged at the Grand Canyon when I was in Arizona for my 2nd Level II, and we got married May 8, 2010. I work at Cincinnati Children's, 20 hours per week with a developmental caseload, 20 hours with the Outpatient Neurorehabilitation Team (ONRT). Right now my "hobbies" include helping to revise the ONRT employee training, collaborating to develop the CCHMC OTPT position on facial e-stim, and continuing to work on the BPI therapeutic taping manuscript with Carol and Allison Allgier."
