Wednesday (day 111)

Good evening all. Shawna had a good workout Monday with the physiotherapist. She was sitting up quite long for him. He was looking for the muscle responses on her left side. He was very encouraging that she is starting to use her left side leg, and back muscles. She also during the exercises centered her head without the use of a brace. They tried to stand her up at a walker but that wasnt very successful yet. Shawna enjoyed it though and was very alert during the session. She didn't seem to be overworked either as she was not totally exhausted when she was finished. They took her casts off yesterday and she responded by moving her legs and feet a lot. She was a bit upset when they recasted her today. Saturday draws closer when she can come home for a few hours. We are so excited. We continue to recieve these blessings from the Lord and are very thankful for them. We also thank you for your support and prayers Al and Deb
