August 27, 2007

It's been kind of sad for me to think of Kelsi missing her first day of high school today. But, she is slowly progressing and will be in school before we know it. I believe we will all look back at these days with awe and great humility. It is amazing to me to see the power of the priesthood in action. We have witnessed so many miracles.
Today Kelsi had 3 half hour sessions of therapy. One was with the speech therapist, the other 2 were with the physical therapist. She did great but was so tired by the 3rd one. We rewarded her with a nice soothing soak in the tub. She really enjoys that. She especially loves her hair to be washed.
About an hour after she had completed therapy I was very surprised when the nurse came in with some new forms for me to sign. She said that the therapists believe she is ready for regular rehab. That means 3 hours a day. This will begin tomorrow. I am anxious to see how she does. It seems a bit much to me, but Kelsi has always been very strong and strong willed. She should do well.
They removed her last I.V. today. It is always nice to see one more thing go away. All she has left is her feeding tube.
We as a family are still amazed and so greatful for the wonderful family, friends, neighbors and ward members we have. Thank you so much for all of your love, concern, support, faith and prayers. We love you all!

Tis is so great and amazing form a medical standpoint. She is doing so well. I am so proud of her determination! It may seem slow but she is making remarkable mile stones quickly also from the medical standpoint, Hang in there! We are keeping her in our prayers.
