this feels so good...

    Hello Everyone!  Scilla is doing VERY well. She has started to get out more and even enjoyed her first overnight trip this past weekend! She had a great time in Atlanta with her husband and daughter. Last week she came to visit me at work and got her hair colored at the Barber school where I work. Because our shampoo bowls are attached to the chairs, two of the male students had to lift her from her wheelchair into the shampoo bowl/chair. Once in the chair, she remarked "this feels so good!" I smiled and told her that she needs to find a chair where she can sit upright and straight more often because in the bed and wheel chair she slumps ( as most people do) when they do not have firm back support.  Also while sitting in the chair, her daughter said "you look normal", to which I said "she is normal".  We all knew what she meant and it did not offend her mother; so we just chuckled about it!

     I would like to say thank you to Crestin, Jermaine, and Randy for your assistance in transferring her from her wheelchair to the shampoo bowl and back. I really do appreciate you going above and beyond your duties to make it possible for her to get her hair colored.

Here are some pictures from her visit:

     In 14 days we will celebrate the 1 year  anniversary of Scilla's accident. I am not sure how or if we will celebrate it; but I just know that it is a blessing that God allowed her to still grace the earth with her presence and although the past year has been filled with trials and tribulations, she has grown to accept her disability and recognizes that it is by God's grace and mercy that she has made the progress that she has. 

      Also in 15 days baby Emma will celebrate her 1st birthday! Emma is doing great; she has master rolling to one side, gotten new shoes that fit her AFO's and will be getting her very own stander in the next few months.

God definitely has his angels surrounding these two beautiful girls!

Walking in Faith.
