This Girl!

I tell you what, this girl of ours amazes me everyday!
Malina has been doing wonderful with her physical therapy this month. She is trying to stand more on her own and has even tried to take a few steps!

She did awesome a few weeks ago trying to walk with her walker. Because she is not strong enough to support herself, we do have to help her by supporting her as she stands or tries to take steps. We did have Malina fitted for leg/ankle braces last week and we should get those the middle of June.
We have been working with a therapist from CMH who comes to our home once a week, Kelli, she is great and Malina is starting to finally like her. However, we just found out that Malina will qualify for a program called First Steps through the school district. We have a  meeting with them next week and then they will have someone come in our home once a week to work with Malina. She also receives therapy when she is in the hospital for chemo. Everyone has been very impressed with how well Malina has been able to regain her different functions since her tumor was removed. We know it will still take more time, but are confident that she will regain all ability.
