We're Home

Hi all. Just a quick post to let you know we all made it home safely. Fiona is getting remarkably stronger every day and is able to do more and more. For example, yesterday she couldn't stand, even supported, but today I was able to support her while she hung on to a ledge and planted both feet nicely on the floor.

I intend to keep up the blog so that everyone can follow her progress. There are many more pictures and video for me to add. I am just overwhelmed with the clean-up and unpacking process and Maddi really needs some attention from me. Maddi had a rough night with homework and TV and attitude. Once the dust had settled, I told her that I was going to pick her up from school tomorrow WITHOUT Fiona. Just me and her. She looked at me with eyes watering up and asked "why are you going to do that?" I said "Because you're special too" and she burst into tears.

Thank you to everyone who came to the house to provide food, dog walking, transportation and companionship to my mum and Maddi.

I hate to leave you hanging, especially all of our long distance friends and family and those of you who have followed us through this journey without having met us. Thank you again. I'll be back!

p.s. Abductors are the outside hip (the muscle you work when you do leg raises), Adductors are the inside thigh (the one Suzanne Sommers invented the thigh master for). So they both exist. Cleared up. Just had to correct myself.
