It’s hard to believe it’s March already and that we have lived nearly all four seasons since Lily’s injury. We are in our 9th month post injury (not that I’m counting) and she continues to progress. Mostly her strength in her neck and torso giving her the ability to hold her head for longer periods. […]
Just wanted to post an update for you all–I know I am not very consistent. I apologize, I just want to have new news when I post so you continue to be interested in Lily’s journey. My biggest fear is that Lily is “out of sight–out of mind” and the prayers will fade. She continues […]
Last Friday marked Lily’s 7 months post event . . . she squeezed my hand for the first time. Appreciate the little things . . . they can be taken away at any moment.
Last week we went to the Shea Therapeutic Riding Center for the first time. Lily had an evaluation and they got her on a horse! That was an exciting surprise for everyone. Its incredible how much energy it takes for Lily to ride and for us who are holding and ensuring her safety. Lily seemed […]
Lily continues to work very hard in her therapies. She works 6 days a week, 3-4 hours a day. We met with a specialist this week and learned more daily exercises to do with Lily. We have so many activities to do with her that there aren’t enough hours in the day. So we have […]

Today was a a great day! As everyone knows Lily has been working extremely hard . . . everyday. Some days for up to 4 hours! Well today was no different but she had a breakthrough session. During her 3-hour therapy session she was able to finally hold her trunk and her head for an […]
Today we give thanks for all of our blessings. This year we have experienced such heartache and grief yet we have been so blessed at the same time. We are grateful that Lily is alive, that we are together again at home, that we are healthy, that we have a roof over our heads and […]
We came home 4 weeks today. It has been a big adjustment for all of us but we are very happy to be together again at home. We have been feeling our way through the “system” of insurance, nursing care, home health supplies, etc. Lily has been busy Monday through Fridays with her therapies; most […]
Lily got in the spirit of Halloween (her favorite holiday besides Christmas) by dressing up as Princess Leia and hitting the neighborhood.
