Ally and our family are super, super LUCKY to have Music Therapy with Ms. Rachel each month. Ally is part of palliative care with Horizon. It is to enrich her life and offer support (not end of life or hospice). We used to have music and art every week, but then moved to each once a month since we became more active with school as Ally has been healthier. Now that she will be more homebound because of her cast from her fractured hip repair surgery, we are able to increase to music and art each every other week. Ally really enjoys creating special art projects. She sings along in her own way during some of music therapy and her heart rate often lowers many number since she enjoys it so much. What is really amazing is when Melissa and other family members join Ally for music and art! THANK YOU HORIZON!!!! and THANK YOU Rachel and Joan!!!!
Here’s a montage that Rachel made for us to have documented memories of some of our music sessions…
