Blessings Abound!

 Yesterday was full of good news! Rie enjoyed 20 minutes on her new stationary bike. We went to her dermatologist again, this time for concerns about scalp scar flaking. He said it is a very common condition and easily treatable with a prescription shampoo. The scar looked good to him. We’ll see Rie’s craniofacial plastic surgeon next week to see if it’s time to inject some fat under the thinner parts of the scar (fat transfer). My nephew’s surgery went well. Mia’s orthodontist said her braces are working well and she’s doing a good job with them at home. Mia was also very happy with her math and science grades. I keep reassuring her that we don’t really care about her grades or what she does in life as long as she becomes a doctor! So far, Rie is having her best night of sleep since forever. Blessings abound. Praise the Lord.❤️🙏

12/12/23 Update

 Today is Mia's 16th birthday.  The three of us went shopping for clothes for her yesterday.  It was the first time in over two years that Rie shopped without a wheelchair, using just a standard quad walker.   It almost felt like a normal pre-stroke shopping day, including the backache I used to get whenever we went shopping for clothes! Praise God. ❤️🙏
