August 28, 2007

Kelsi sure surprised her mom today. She made it through all 3 hours of therapy. It was hard. She worked so hard. They worked with crawling, sitting, standing, doing simple puzzles, catching and throwing a beach ball, eating, and washing her hands. She has a long way to go to master these tasks that we each take for granted but she is definitely relearning them. When the therapist asked her if she wanted to try to walk a few steps tomorrow she shook her head, "NO". It was the first time to shake her head no. I think she was so exhausted at the time that the thought of walking was very overwhelming. We will see what tomorrow brings.
I want to send each of you a thank you card for all the wonderful meals, clothes washing, house cleaning, yard work, prayers, prayers and prayers!! There is no way I can do this personally to each of you because I don't even know who has done what. There are so many who have reached out to our family. Thank you so much! There are not words in the English language to express our gratitude. Thank you!

Kelsi,
I am SO amazed at the wonderful progress that you are making. It probably feels like it's taking forever to you, but to me, I'm totally blown away with all that you are doing. Keep up the good work. All that running and training have sure helped your body to respond so well. Love to you and your whole family!

Randy and Lecia,
I don't want to speak for the Highland 5th Ward but I'm pretty sure none of us expect a thank you card from you guys. It's such a privilege for all of us to serve your family. You have an amazing family and we all love you so much. Kelsi and your entire family (including your new beautiful granddaughter) are in our prayers everday as individuals and as families and as a ward. We're the ones being blessed as well because it's made us even more aware of the power of prayer and the Priesthood and that our Heavenly Father is there and loves us and how good it feels to serve and the importance of it.

Thank YOU for all you've done for US! We should be the ones giving your family the "Thank you" cards.

We love you all!
