Eryn's Doing Well

Sporting her purple cane.

Cousin Ileina bringing silliness and cheer.

Anna, Noah and Joseph visiting.

Two volunteer dogs came and visited her in her hospital room. She is obsessive about dogs and was thrilled to have them come.

Day by day Eryn's walking has shown improvement. She started walking with a cute purple cane that she got from physical therapy. Then after a few days she started walking without the cane. Now she is walking and running! We are very happy for her. My main concern is that the affected muscles in her foot still have not shown signs of improvement. In my opinion she is walking despite her disability in the foot. We'll see what happens. In the mean time. . . here are some cute pictures of Eryn from her hospital stay. Thanks for all of your sympathy and concern. Eryn went back to school today and when she walked into school all of the kids were so excited, saying, "Eryn's back" and "I'm sorry you had surgery Eryn." Too cute.

I'm so glad she's up and around. Isn't it crazy how resilient kids are? Our thoughts are with you!
