Would you like to Dance?

Steve informs me that he did not take two steps yesterday, he stood up several times and moved his hips around without really moving his feet yesterday... you say tomato I say tomatoe... And he states that he really really did walk today, he took two steps forward and then steps back, and he does not mean that his progress is poor, he means that he really did step forwards and backwards!! He states that he was able to put some weight on his legs and was able to manage it. For me, this was a huge obstacle becuase he was scared and I wanted him to feel strong, but it is not my job to feel for him (I did try, trust me). He states that he is feeling stronger and more positive. Even though he hates to dance, I think that he will owe me! He has a brace on his foot because his hip is turning his foot in and he needs more support.

He has asked me to be here less, he states that he is worried about me burning my self out and trying to do too much and I guess that he is making some logical sense, but I feel like I need to be here for him becuase I will have to go back to work and he may be still unable to. So for now, I will remain super woman and try to be it all to everyone (I never said that I was good at it). It really helps that I am off for the summer, I am able to keep my head above water. One day at a time is a great idea.

The girls are doing okay, we have our struggles, because it is just me, but we work them out, I am sad to report that Andrea recently resigned from her post of "role model" stating that it was too much responsbility. (YES, I KNOW, she is the daughter of a social worker). They talk about their daddy every day and it seems to help to see him at night. They are use to having me around all the time in the summer, so not too much has been turned upside down for them. I have awesome babysitters, so the girls don't mind when I leave, because it is "fun" time for them. I am not going to be able to afford it for too long, but right now it works. I know that many of you have offered to help with the girls so taht I can be at the hospital, adn that time is coming soon. I appreciate all of the offers and prayers. I think that it is this is what makes me happy, relieved and overwhelmed all of the same time. I hope that I am the human being that my friends are, compaissionate, caring, sensitive and generous. So thank you to all of you, I could have not done this without all of you.

Thanks for tuning in, may God bless you and I owe you BIG!
