She’s Home

Michelle came home today. She spent a week in hospital therapy and is doing well. The therapists told me she walked 50 feet yesterday with a high walker.

She is truly an inspiration.

Happy 36th birthday to my darling daughter. It’s now been almost 15 years since she was hit by a car and we are so thankful every day to still have her with us. She works so hard every day in her therapies and always brings a smile to everyone who comes into contact with her. What a treasure!
