8 steps today!! Edit that now to 75 steps plus the 8... She wasn't supposed to do this today. She was with her walker, and she decided she just wanted to check and see if she could balance by herself, so her PT let her:).
My heart jumped when I read this!!! Yay, you go girl!! Can't wait to see where you will be in no time. You are a fighter... Becca (I am a stranger that has been following your story for quite some time now)
God is good...just a fellow sister encouraging you through your journey.
i orginally heard your story through my home church as we prayed for you during our service a few months ago. then another friend of mine directed your site through her blog. small world, but her, carol and myself all went to the same high school.
may God continue to give you strength in your perseverance.
So happy to hear they let up on the brakes a little...she was ready to run three days ago :) It hasn't even been 24 hours and I miss you already, Carol! I love you!!
Carol,,, I have often noticed all the firsts that we adults get to celebrate in for our children; first smile, first word and the ever mighty first step!! Many times I have thought how nice it would be to have people cheer that way for our accomplishments as adults, when we can truly appreciate and bask in the glory and encouragement of all the support. Hooray for you!!! What an accomplishment!
Such wonderful news! You look great. We have been praying for you and you keep surpassing every new challenge so quickly. Congratulations on your progress and determination.
Nothing will slow this girl down! Love you tons and praying for all of you. Erica and the blog keep me up to date. We think of you every day here on the other side of the world. Thanks so much Scott and keep it up Carol!
WOW!!! Carol your determination is incredible! I love it. I'm so happy for you! I bet it was so awesome to feel in control. Way to go and keep fighting! I can't believe I didn't look at my computer earlier today. I've missed so much! Thanks for sharing your new journey with all of us who are - who for some look at your blog everyday! :)
Way to go girl!!! I am so proud of you. Thank you so much Scott for keeping up on postings. Carol's progress keeps me going everyday. I miss her so much. Hopefully be able to get over the pass and visit soon. I started a new job here in Spokane and even they are keeping up on Carol. This has been such an inspiration to all.
this picture made me cry! you are setting the most amazing example for those girls of yours! if only every girl had a mom that brave to walk in the footsteps of (no matter what!!!)
You are such a wonderful example to me of Perserverance, I am truely touched by your story. I found your blog through Nei Nei and will keep you in our prayers.
I love reading Scott's posts. Carol, you are still the fighter you always were, I am so glad you have that in you. I'm sorry I missed you when you were home last week. It was great spending a few hours with the girls and laughing about old times.
It prompted me to look through pictures from back then. I found one of you and I sailboarding at Charbonneau Park. Remember that day? I remember it well. My parents just bought the new boat and we were learning to water ski.
You got up first of course, and on your first try, but I still remember telling myself, ha, if Carol can do it I can do it too. Well, I did, but it took me two trys. Regardless, I wasn't about to go home that day without being able to ski too!
Thanks for being the inspiration you were back then and continue to be today.
I do not know if you will read my post or not as I am waaaay down here at the bottom but I just wanted to say way to go Carol. You have always been a little fighter and fiesty, never a quitter. Keep up the good work. I liked your idea of being 5'7. Too bad they won't let you. You are amazing. I am sorry to hear about Shawn.
