Birthday Party
Sarah is having an MRI today which may show if there was a connection that was missed and may explain the seizures. I am not sure what to think, so I am just leaving all this in God’s hands and will just have to take it as it comes. I am tired of dwelling on the consequences of everything.
The other night I was sitting in Sarah’s bed with her and we were watching a movie and having a snack before bedtime. All of a sudden she pulls the blankets off of her and puts her left leg over the side of the bed. I asked her what she was doing. She looked at me and said, “I am getting up. I am tired of laying in this bed.” I had to remind her that her right leg isn’t working so well and she will have to keep working hard in order to get up on her own and walk around. In hind sight I should have got up and helped her stand and maybe she would have walked a little. She is starting to move her right leg more each day. I wish the right arm would start working again too.
We had a little birthday party for Sarah at the hospital. It stinks to have to celebrate your birthday this way, but she had a good time. The ladies from her benefit committee came to the party with a special gift for her. She got to see some of her friends which was really nice. She lasted a couple of hours before she was just too exhausted and needed to head back to her room. Thanks to everyone who helped with the party. It did her a lot of good.

How excellent to get a Wii for therapy! ; ) I know how hard it must be to see her struggling with things that used to be so easy for her. We just got back into the hardcore PT, and we’re finding that Hollis has lost some things as well, even though she’s never had full functional use of her right arm or leg. Things that were a snap before the surgery are now more challenging and more painful. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you need a shoulder to cry on.

The people at Nintendo are ahead of their times. The Wii is the only game player that can be used with one hand. This is perfect for our kids. Also, some of the games are great for the issues that they deal with.
Sarah looks amazing and I pray that the MRI results are good.
Blessings,
Cris

I know that a hospital is no place to spend a birthday but looks like you had a really good time. And WOW what a present. That looks like so much fun. Please know that all of you are constantly on my mind. I am hoping the MRI results gives you the answers that you need.
