Scrap Material

Kayla saw these scrap pieces of material and wanted to play like mommy.  At first she tried to grab some scissors and play at mommy's sewing table but I stopped her.  I showed her how to wrap the material around her.  She loved it. She said she was beautiful.  I love the way she says that word.  It sounds like beeootyfoooool.  Here are a couple of pictures.

Heather sitting up

For the first time today, Heather got herself into a sitting up position and stayed there.  This is the first time she has ever sat up, unassisted in this straight leg position.  Yeah Heather!!!

Heather and baptism

I have spoken with our bishop on this matter.  He strongly feels that Heather doesn't need this ordinance.  He said he doesn't feel that will change but if it does, we will address it then.  Just FYI.

Other Kids want spotlight

Here are a few pictures of Michael and Kayla.  They wanted there picture taken after I did the video of Heather.

Sunday rolling

Heather got tired and bored with staying in bed and/or her wheelchair, so today I let her get on the floor and move herself around.  Look at her go.

Crazy Girl

Heather is starting to get her since of humor back.  See, she smiled when I called her my crazy girl.

Heather update

Heather has been making progress on slowly coming off of her pain medicine.  She is moving her hips and trying to move her legs.  I think she is getting frustrated that she can't bend her knees.  She had a really rough night last night.  She went to bed at 8pm, woke up at 10pm because the cat climbed on her, woke up at 12am because she was uncomfortable, I gave her some pain meds, she woke up at 2am because the cat climbed on her again, I locked the cat in the laundry room this time, and woke up at 4am because she was uncomfortable, I gave her 2 of her pain meds and then she finally slept till 10am.  Poor girl.  Keep praying for her.
