Hello everyone. I wanted to let you all know the good news that my husband and I just bought our first home and have been moving in for the last 2 weeks. I think the reason that I am most excited about this home and the reason that we pushed so hard to get it (even though the mortgage will kill us) is that it has a swimming pool for Kalyn. Shriners told us how good that water therapy will be for her legs. I have put her in it a few times and she still has that 5 month old baby reaction of throwing her arms in the air but she kicks her legs everytime that she is in it. She has been moving her left leg so much more latley. She has even now been able to grab both of her feet. Her legs are too short and she cant put them in her mouth but man oh man does she sure try to. She said her 1st word 2 days ago. Momma....Wooohooo. Man that made my entire day.
She goes back to Shriners for her "Big" appointment on 09/20/06 & this is when they will have more of an idea of th extent of her condition.
Please everyone keep her in your thoughts/prayers for me.
Love,
Heather Cords
