Closer to walking

Yesterday we went back to Children's Hospital for Mari's first fitting. They made a cast of her left leg and they are working on a test socket. Her knee is back ordered (sounds funny, huh?) so we will probably not get back there until the first week of November for a trial fitting. The goal is to start physical therapy on the 15th. She is so excited about walking. The prosthetic specialists just loved her. She charmed everyone. She certainly has that way about her. Walking around Children's Hospital really helps you keep things in perspective. We are so blessed. Blessed by Mari's determined spirit. Blessed that she was in such a wonderful place while waiting for us to become a family. Blessed that she can do everything with her right hand. She won't even need a prosthetic for that one. Praise God. Amazing is the word that keeps coming to mind day and day. She just amazes me. I am so blessed to be her Momma. I have so much to learn from her.
