You know the Christmas favorite show that many of us waited all year to watch because it was only on once a year, "Santa Clause is Coming to Town"? One of my favorite songs on that show was the one that the wizard sang when Santa gave him the toy. You know where he says just put on foot in front of the other soon you'll be walking out the door... Well, that is what we did today. Herb came in today and had Courtney up walking down the hall, around the corner, and up 3 stairs and then down them. It was very hard for her!!! She was so scared that she would fall. We reassured her that we would not let that happen and after a while she built enough courage to get up those stairs. Again, awesome.
They have a department called child life here. They are the people that keep the kids minds off of their situation. As much as possible anyway. Cyndi has been on Courtney's side all along. She brought her a BIG stack of movies this afternoon. Some of her favorites and I have to admit mine, too. Included? Yup you guessed it Christmas movies! YAY. We have had a great time.
After dinner they came by and tempted her with a painting project in the school room. She loves to paint and actually got out of bed for a hour and half and did TWO projects. She had a great time but now she is out like a rock. It was good for her.
Have I mentioned I love this hospital and staff? Well I do! I am so very thankful for the opportunity to come here for this. Good night.
