Donna had some residual medical moments but they didn't keep her from flaunting her well rested attitude at therapy. Her PT therapist, Laura, has a problem with her because no matter what the instruction, Donna wants to stand. Its like she believes that she knows more than Laura and sees standing as the fastest path to running. Sorry but I bet on Laura. Either way it is great to see her stand and her drive is awesome too. She spent her occupational therapy working on a puzzle of the US. she did pretty well but down the stretch she gets tired. We see a little more every day but still a way to go.
She'll be getting a new chair tomorrow as she has improved out of her current one. Words we love to hear. The right arm moves just a little more every day. I ask Donna to move her fingers, elbow and arm everyday for me and even she notices the difference. When she doesn't know I'm looking, she works it with her good left arm. She knows it needs to move, even if it hurts.
I had sent to me today an article on the 45 lessons for life. There were a few that I realize I really have learned in the last few months or learned more deeply. Here are a few that hit close to home:
- Life isn't fair but its still good
- Cry with someone, its more healing than crying alone
- Its OK to let your children see you cry
- Everything can change in the blink of an eye, don't worry the Almighty doesn't blink
- Whatever doesn't kill you, does make you stronger
- When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer
- Time heals everything, give time time
- Believe in miracles
- If we took all of our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we would grab ours again
- The best is yet to come...
Have a great day. I'll spend mine with my girl and I'll take that any day.
