Fun Friday; Saturday and Sunday day passes...

     I haven't posted all weekend because I have taken this time to relax, do somethings for myself and SHOP! Prissy enjoyed both her day passes and although it was very tiring for her, she is continuing to do more. She went to Wal-Mart and we went to dinner Sunday at Ruby Tuesdays. She did well at Ruby's for the most part; she did get a little frustrated at the salad bar because she couldn't reach everything she wanted and was not able to carry her plate on her own. She did attempt to try these things and although I was at the bar with her and told her that as time goes on she will get better; she was still a little frustrated.
     I see the progress that she has made, but I see that she still needs A WHOLE LOT OF WORK! It looks as  though when she comes home on May 12th that she is still going to need around the clock help and will not be able to be alone at anytime. I don't know how long it is going to take, but I can't wait until she is independent enough to transfer from her chair on her own, because I think that will just make life easier for her; not having to depend on someone else all the time.
       She has been having muscle spasms and says she felt one in her stomach today. I want to believe her and I have faith that God does, can and will work miracles, but at the same time I do not want to give her false hope. So at times when she says she can feel, I try to change the subject or make a joke because I don't know how I should react.
    On a lighter note, I have noticed Prissy is smiling a lot more and seems to be returning to her happy self . Here are some pictures from the past week:

Prissy had to chase her in a circle and sing Hannah Montana!
Great Recreational therapy ;)

Lastly, I leave you with a video of Mimi and Scilla playing outside; they were having a great time and although we didn't know it at the time, it was great therapy for Prissy!
