Granny Walks with Help

Well, the title says it all. Granny has been walking in physical therapy for the past few days. Today she was able to use a walker for a extended period of time. It is very painful for her to put pressure on her right arm and hand and this makes it hard to fully utilize her walker. Please pray that her arm would heal completely and she would have relief from the pain. Please continue to pray for her full recovery. Thank you in advance for all your prayers. Granny's room is full of flowers and cards and I know that it means so much to her to know that ya'll are thinking of her.

Bath Time

Abby enjoys bath time. I usually wait and bath her around 7:00 because she's colicky and the warm water calms her down. I think she would loinge in the tub for hours if I would let her.

Car Wash

This Friday Anne and Scott washed his "baby" car, that's what Anne calls it, to prepare it to sell. Abby and I watch all the action from a safe distance. Scott has driven this green machine since college and it has been a dependable and faithful companion. He was sad to say goodbye to his old friend when he sold it Saturday. We had to give up this car because I have officially become a mom. We bought . . . a minivan. I always said I would NEVER drive a van, but I am a minivan convert. I love it! Automatic opening and closing doors, lots of storage, and easy entering and exiting for Anne make the minivan the most wonderful invention since sliced bread.

Dinner at Papa and Gra'ma's

At least once a week Gra'ma invites us over for dinner and it is wonderful! We always come early so Lilly is able to go on a walk. It is a great time for Mom and I to catch up and get some fresh air. When Papa and Daddy show up we all sit down for dinner, including Abby, I'm usually eating and nursing. Last night, after dinner Anne went outside with Papa to dig post holes for the new fence, Gra'ma and I washed dishes, and Abby and Daddy watched the Aggie's cream BYU. When the dishes were finished Gra'ma, Abigail, and I came outside to join in the fun. Anne spotted lots of caterpillars among the flowers and was able to resist touching the future butterfly. She transferred dirt for Papa, helped pour water in the post holes, and did a bit of "gardening" with the dirt she had collected. Gra'ma swung while Abby screamed! Abigail is either colicky from 6pm to 8pm or 8pm to 10pm. She did better outside and even calmed down a bit on the swing. Gra'ma said it reminded her of me as baby. I told her I didn't remember doing anything like that :)

Above is a pick of Abby last night enjoying the nice evening weather.

Granny Update

Granny was able to walk 42 feet twice yesterday! What an accomplishment!

Granny Update

Granny has had her tracheotomy completely removed! She does quite a bit of physical therapy each day and it has been very tiring and painful. She can stand on her own and take a few steps, but still spends most of her time in her wheel chair. Please pray that the swelling in her right arm and hand will go down and that she will regain complete use of her right limb. It is very painful for her to move her right hand or even have it touched. She is also eating regular food, granted most of it is soft and chopped up. Please continue to pray for her complete recovery!
