Getting warmed up for my day


Standing in the spider


I have a new record!! A minute and a half!!



From sitting to standing. I'm feeling more like a big girl every day.




Taking a stroll around the room


Boy! Am I tired.

Iliana is a strong little girl. She worked and worked, even when she got tired. The walking above is at the end of the day. She seems to improve is some way almost daily. I was just thinking today how she has gone now more than 1 week without any seizures. I know that the work she is doing comes naturally to most, but she really has to work to accomplish these tasks. It's very tough for her physically. I am thankful that God has answered our (yours included) prayers and allowed her body to adapt in such an incredible way. Thank you to all for loving her enough to pray for her the way that you have.

Psalm 68:32-Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth,sing praise to the Lord...O God you are awesome in your sanctuary;the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!" Mighty God of the Universe we pray that you strengthen Iliana's little body as she labors through her therapy. May we rejoice in the little victories of her snacking on Cheetos and sitting up straight. We thank you for the deep well of strength you have given her and the example of perseverance that she is to all us. We confess that we take for granted the gifts you have given to us and pray that we will glorify you for the little things. Thank you for the love of a mother as displayed by Litka and Marisol. Two mothers who tirelessly support their families despite their own weariness. Litka your love for Iliana is evident in the endless care and attention you pour into all your children. Lord we pray for Dwight as he is far from his family. We are thankful for his work ethic in providing for his family, always aware of his dependance upon You. We thank you for the smiles, hugs, and kisses of Reece and Marissa. We thank you for their tender hearts and pray that they will grow to love and know you. Heavenly Father, you are sovereign and righteous. Work through the therapists that your name may be glorified in Iliana's progress! We thank you for the Wilkins family and pray that you will return them home to us next weekend. Until then we know your Holy Spirit attends their way and guards their path.
