New things everyday!

Madison is continuing to surprise us all.  She is still getting stronger. For a little girl who was never supposed to walk or get any stronger she is defying all odds. Last night she pulled herself to a stand on the parallel bars at home and then walked down them. We had physical therapy on Tues. and Wed. On Tues. she tried a manual wheelchair and she knew how to do it instantly. She chased Molly across the room. I had tears in my eyes! It was so exciting that she could get where she wanted to go! She also went on this little double seater sit and spin and made it go by herself. I couldn't believe she didn't fall off. Her trunk control has improved a ton! Then on Wed. She took a few steps in her walker again. She just has to figure out how to move the wheels on the walker and then her feet. We are counting down the days until the benefit. I hope all of you can make it. Please keep our friend Sergio in your prayers. He is fighting leukemia!  God Bless!
