Therapy begins

Well, Courtney sure has shown her superstar colors today!! This morning we got her in some real clothes, HER clothes. She was so glad to be out of that dumb gown. That quite possibly is her least favorite thing. However, as soon as we did that here came the therapist, Herb. He is so kind and patient. At the same time though he expects the kids to push themselves. He made her put on her own socks and shoe. He then showed her how to grab ahold of the rings and move her leg with them. Then she took a walk about 10 feet and back to bed. It was very hard and very painful not to mention scary!!! It was equally as hard for me to stand back and watch her do it. I wanted to run over pick her up and carry her to the door and back. I can't. Needless to say she did it and she is doing great. She gets up and goes to the bathroom. Only when absolutely necessary mind you. She even got in a wheel chair went down to the second floor to pick her own dinner and back. Talk about supergirl!! Tonight she is very tired and so she is watching a movie and going to sleep early. Me too!!!

You know it amazes me how Courtney going through this and me having to stand back and watch is so very difficult. I have no idea how our Heavenly Father stood back and watched his son hang on the cross. So much pain He himself must have felt. I want to thank you all again for your prayers! It has been so helpful to us. We have talked about it several times. Thank you!!!
