Good evening- Well with heavy hearts Josie and I had to put Grandma Carol back on the plane to LA. It was so great to have her here. It was a relief to have someone else to help and to carry her. Here we are all the way in Michigan to learn to walk and I am not allowed to let her walk outside of therapy or use her legs accept to swim for the most part. It just means a lot more lifting...she has so much muscle = heavy...but not complaining. Basically just saying thank you Grandma Carol!! We loved having her here for the birthday, chickadee performance, Jonas Brothers concert,therapy and most of all for the company.
Today, Cousin Suzy Hull came to her mom's (Aunt Harriet). It was such a treat to catch up for a moment with her and to have her meet Josie. We are fortunate to be here to see the cousins that we would normally not see so often. Suzy's son Tim fought cancer for the past 3 years. It returned for a second time and he was fortunate enough to receive bone marrow from his older brother, JT. It worked and he is cancer free. What a journey that was for them.
Josie had another great day in therapy. She is moving forward everyday which is so impressive. Her therapists are happy with the pace in which she is improving. We got to hear about what Przemek's new goals are. When we return at the end of August he hopes to be using the canes as just practice and gaining strength as he is using the walker now. He anticipates by October to be moving to "next stage" that is independent steps. This is so far out but it is fun that it is even being discussed. Trust me, we haven't begun to master the canes but in Przemek's words we have turned a corner and a very large one.
During therapy today, mom and I ran out to the PGA Tour event that is here in Flint this weekend. We didn't get to stay but long enough for a quick hello to some of our friends. Josie and I will go back out this weekend to see the ones we know who make the cut. Fun to be back in that world for a moment. It seems like a life time ago...but a great one.
One last thing, Jeanie and I went this morning to enroll Josie with the school district here today to get a teacher to the house in the fall and also for first communion classes. It makes staying so official. Thanks Jeanie for going with me.
Hope all is well with everyone. Thanks for your support. Jenny and Josie
