Ellie’s mom made a little video montage to send to their church back in Canada. I love it, but every time I watch it, I still cry.
It’s just sooooo thrilling to be able to see the progress Ellie has made since her SDR surgery!

Ellie is progressing quite nicely walking with her canes! Here she is, about 3 months after her Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy, and about 2 1/2 months since she first started working with these canes.
At first she just practiced pulling herself up and just standing with her canes. One time I visited them in Florida, she made a big breakthrough by standing 90 seconds by herself with her canes. NOW look at her!!! According to her mom, all the therapist is doing is “helping Ellie with stabilizing the canes on the ground as Ellie brings them to the floor.”
I did that once with Ellie too, and really, all you do is put your hand over top of hers on the canes, and away she goes with you in tow behind her!

It’s taken me 3 weeks of off and on work, but I think I have FINALLY gone through every post on this blog and removed the extra wonky characters that weren’t supposed to be there but got inserted when the blog was recreated from the back-up files.
More importantly, I have also found all the pictures that belonged to the blog posts, and uploaded all of those again. THAT was the really big project, and quite time consuming.
If those boogers ever delete another one of my blogs, I think I will go camp on their doorsteps and curse them with my presence, ha!
And now, since a post on Ellie’s blog without a picture of our cute Miss Ellie just won’t do, here ya go…
Ellie "working" on her laptop computer.
Ellie loves it when we both sit on the couch and work on our laptops!
