Two updates for previous blog

1. Dad is making progress w/rehab. Standing seems to be getting easier for him. Just had the last staples out of left knee. Anyone know where to find a bedboard?
2. Paul getting kudos for school. Working well with all the kids. The families are very nice and encouraging. BTW, anyone an expert knitter, expert enough to offer some starter tips?
3. Phoebe's turning into a parrot. Just watch what you say around her...
4. So I can't count-here's a 4th update! Not much new for me and Chris...a member on amcsupport.org is launching a new site all about a documentary. The address: amcdocumentary.org.

Phoebe's spurt

The orthotist just adjusted her kafos as long as they will go. He of course suggested that they reapply the pelvic band to correct external rotation. With Reenee's sewing elastic suggestion, she should be able to do it by that cue. The walker is wide, but the toy train is narrow enough to force her legs closer than a cowgirl's stance. Either way, she cries when I even suggest she use the walker to go down the hall. My lack of patience is spoiling this child;)

Paul is about to complete his second week of preschool. He's having a blast! He's sending home lots of artwork to tape to the bare living room walls. Phoebe likes to contribute as well! We girls are bonding but saving our energy for a trip to the mall, lol. Don't worry Chris, it'll be mostly window shopping!

Keep my dad in your prayers. He's recovering from double knee replacement and it's gonna be rough going for a few weeks. My mom needs some too, running back and forth. She took a fall at the hospital parking lot last weekend, but says she's okay.
