Rough week...Getting much better

Sorry we have not put new pictures of me this week. It has been a crazy week. I started running 103 temp. on Monday afternoon and only got worse. Mama got alittle nervous and called Dr. Donahue(my neurosurgeon), we almost went to the ER, but Mama prayed really hard and God answered her prayer and I started feeling better. I had a really bad cough but it is almost all gone. Mama had a busy week getting Ms. Anna's baby shower favors ready with alittle help from Fleetie she got them done in time. Mama got to go out last night with other spina bifida Mama's she had a good time. I got to spend alot of time with Dad this weekend. We had a blast gardening, walking, riding my Jeep( I can go 5 mph in it). I am glad that I am feeling better. Mama hates it when I am sick, Mama says I only get sick every 5-6 months with a cold. When I do get sick...I get sick...full impact. Mama says she will take 2x a year anyday though. Here are some pics from today. After eating and then just hanging with Dad. By the way...Happy Birthday Grandpa Terry!!!

p.s. these are the party favors Mama did for the baby shower...aren't they cute.

I had a great Easter Weekend....

My Easter Weekend...I sure was busy

Riding into the Sunset...

Tonight, Dad and I decided to take the Jeep for a ride. I love being in my Jeep. I can drive it all by myself....and I am learning how to steer. Dad got some great video, but we have not figured out how to show all of you.

Scottish Rite....I got a A+

Today, I went to Scottish Rite and I walked all over the place for 5 straight hours!!! Everyone told us that we are the doing a great job. Dr. Richards the orthopedic doctor said that "my progress is remarkable". And that he does not need to see me again...only when we need to for new prescriptions for my braces. We gave back my Turbo 3000 and my walker, since Dad and Mama got me my own. We thanked Scottish Rite for letting us borrow the equipment. I did not sit still at all...Mama and Dad are really happy about that. I had to give some blood today and I was not to happy about that...but the nurse gave me a new stuff dog.
Then while I was walking/running down the halls I got to meet the Liverpool Soccer Team and they gave me a soccer ball and a Liverpool scarf. I got my picture taken by three different photographers...I felt like a movie star. Mama had to sign off that it was ok for my pictures to be in the Scottish Rite newsletter. They wanted to know my name and how old I was. I now know how the movie stars feel. I kicked the soccer ball and gave the players high 5's. I was super tired...I feel asleep before we got out of the parking lot. I slept for 3 1/2 hours. WE are so happy about my report!!

I love to walk.....thank GOD

I love my Dad......

I love my Dad soooo much....we got to hang out alot today.
