Annie's got a new ride

Thanks to YOU! Thank you, everyone, for your way generous contributions to Annie's trike. Today my brother, Dan, received all the funds needed to order it--and cousin Scott e-mailed Rifton to see if they'd do a custom pink raspberry paint job. So, Bill will post pictures--maybe even a video--after it arrives and she takes it out for a spin. Again--thank you so much for making this happen for her. I know that riding it will strengthen those leg muscles to help her walk soon--and strengthen her smile muscles too!

Meanwhile, Annie started to scoot on her rear yesterday--and I almost missed it, except one minute she was one place and the next she was over there! She also is using her right hand alot more. We put a sock on her left hand to discourage her from using it more than her right hand, and now, lo and behold, she's using her right hand more. She also began intentionally bumping her toy aquarium to make it make noise. I bought the thing at the thrift store right after we first came home from the hospital the first time, and up to this point, all the noise coming from it has been generated by other people. But a couple of days ago, OT Beth put the aquarium right next to Annie's leg, and she got the cause (bump) and effect (noise) of it. Now she looks at it, bumps it, jiggles to the song it makes, and then bumps it again.

Good day. Pray for a good night. She's still doing laps in her bed at 10 PM, and this morning, woke up with the roosters at 5.
