Exciting News

After the doctor visit we had Friday I really had not expected much more good news for Madelynn. But today I received it.

I had to leave work early to meet with a therapist for Madelynn. I stopped Madelynn's year long physical therapy in December. After talking to the case working that is assisting in Madelynn's recovery, she suggested that Madelynn have an exit therapy session just to make sure she really was ready to stop physical therapy. I already knew the answer but it was a free review so I let them do their job.

As the session began, Madelynn was very shy. I had to sit on the floor to get her to interact with the therapist in the play therapy. All of the sudden, Madelynn took off. She started showing the therapist everything she new and more. She was doing so well in fact the therapist started started testing her on things well above her age group and she was succeeding.

To give you an example Madelynn is 18 months old as of last Friday. Today she tested in the 21, 22, 24 and 25 month old ranges for the tasks she could complete. The therapist was very impressed and concurred that she no longer needs physical therapy. She also said whatever it is we are going to continue because she is thriving on it. Many people look at her and comment how small she is for her age or just how tiny she is. Little do they know this tiny little package will give you a run for your money.

It is just really good to know that she really is on the road to recovery. I always get worried when I get good news that the other shoe is going to drop and we will take two steps backward for the one step forward. I am not sure I could handle another step backward. But it seems now that we are only looking forward. In Madelynn's case, she is running forward and you better be ready to keep up with her.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for her, helped us and continue to pray for her daily. She truly is thriving and we are completely thrilled.
