She did it!!! Gracie was visited by her second therapist who talked her into going for a stroll in her wheelchair. She tried her best to talk us out of it. Then she tried to convince us that she could do it herself. She finally gave in and allowed Michael, the PT, to coach Daddy on how to sit her up and move her to the chair. Although we heard lots of moans and groans, Gracie didn't cry when Daddy moved her. You will see Gracie sitting in her wheelchair in the picture. You will notice that her head is not upright. We were told that this is because she has been in bed for 4 days, not having to use her head/neck muscles. This should improve by Sunday. You will notice in the other picture that she is sound asleep in the wheelchair. The whole ordeal was so exhausting and emotional for her that it wiped her out! We moved her back to bed to rest. We all look forward to this getting easier on her.

Yeah!! I am so glad to hear that you got into your wheelchair. I wish I was as strong and courageous as you.
I was so glad to talk to you yesterday on the phone. It made my day! I told Wendy that you were going commando and she said "that's our Gooble" (that's Wendy's nickname for Gracie) I told all your friends that you were thinking of them.
