Getting stronger every day




Another day and we are getting stronger and stronger. I am now able to extend my right leg about 10 inches which is a big improvement from even yesterday. I have been working on my exercises to keep the strength in my quad muscles so when I am able to walk again, I will be strong enough.

Claire had another wonderful night. I thank God she is such a good baby. She hardly ever cries..only when her diaper is wet or she is hungry. I try to catch her when she first wakes up so she doesn't have a melt down waiting for me to feed her and that seems to work pretty well. Today we got to spend the day with Nanny while Daddy and Papa went to NASA space center. It was good to know that Papa was able to get out for the day and not have to sit in the apartment. I know it is killing him to be limited with what he can do here, but he is a trooper and helping out lots. Nanny and Papa make an almost daily run to Walmart to break up the day when I lay down for a nap with Claire. We have a pretty good routine going here.

We took some fun pictures of Claire today so I hope you all enjoy them. I will continue to keep posting updates on my condition and continue to brag about our beautiful little girl!

    Jaime N and Delia are looking at your blog for the first time and love it. It is very neat to follow your progress and see Claire grow without intruding too much on your lives. We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers and pray that those legs get stronger and stronger every day! :) I will see you later this week to bring you a meal...Fajitas!

    We love you and get well soon "sister"! From Delia
