Post Spica

We are moving along with life "post spica". Joy is doing really well and thoroughly enjoying the freedom of being out of that cast! Her skin is looking so much better, and most of the dry peeling skin is gone. However, the skin is still pretty sensitive, and the scar on her knee will need some time to heal. She is loving being able to be in the water, and she and Lindy are especially loving our little backyard pool! Big sis, Mia, is such fun as she is always up for a dip with the little girls!

Yesterday morning, which was only the third day out of her cast, Joy was attempting to cruise around the ottoman. She was just so excited to be up on her feet! She also enjoyed a blueberry picnic with Lindy . . . Joy was so happy to be sitting on the floor with her new sister!

Joy then received her brace yesterday afternoon after only 3 days! This was an amazing blessing because it can usually take up to 2 weeks. She definitely felt more secure with it on and was even able to bear weight on both legs using her walker. She was so proud of herself! And the brace is so cute . . . it has little flowers and ladybugs on it!

This morning right when Joy woke up she wanted to stand up on her walker. She is so determined! Before we even knew what was happening, the girl took her first steps! Amazing! We are in awe!

By later this afternoon and evening Joy was taking multiple steps and even learning to turn the walker in the direction she wanted to go. We are so proud of her and her accomplishments today. To see our little precious girl up on her feet and walking is unbelievable! There is a lot of drive in that little body! Way to go, little one . . . we will be here every step of the way to cheer you on! We love you so much!
