Doing my situps

Do I have to do this?

Sitting with Chrissy, my therapist this week

Suiting up

Iliana will get in a crawling position, but as far as crawling, it's a no go.

Since I wouldn't crawl, I practiced walking on my knees.

I can almost sit by myself!

I have to go from sitting to standing in this exercise.

My first Cheetoh! Yum!!

Iliana was physical spent at the end of today. Although she is unwilling to participate in any crawling, she is working hard on strengthening her legs. Her lower body has become much stronger in the last week and a half. When she is doing her knee walking, Chrissy helps her to shift her weight and Iliana moves her knee forward. This shows that she is beginning to understand how she needs to move. In speech therapy today, she had her first taste of junk food. She loved it!

Thank you for praying for us. It is the middle of the week and exhaustion is beginning to kick in. We are home sick and anxious to return to our normal routines. However, we praise God for this tremendous opportunity and for what this therapy is doing for Iliana. Staying focused on that is the only thing that is keeping me going. I love seeing her discover that she is capable of doing new things. Our blessings are many!!
