Plugging Along

Heidi is doing good, a lot better than she was a week ago. The progress is a miracle. I don't want to make everyone think that she is jumping out of bed or anything. But she is awake quite a bit now, and she is signing letters to communicate more. She has started some more physical therapy, they want to have her walking, she has been taking a few steps the last couple of days (with a lot of assistance)

Yesterday and again today she was walking in physical therapy (she went about 40 feet) but she did need a lot of help, she is really proud of her accomplishments. When we saw her yesterday that was the first thing she signed to us, was that she was walking.

She still has a lot more to do, she is still a long was from walking by herself. The doctors say that she might be well enough to transport to another hospital in Utah in 2-4 weeks, so she still has a ways to go, and a lot more recovery to endure, but she is a fighter. She really looks forward to her therapy sessions, she really wants to get better fast.
