Continuing On...

Since arriving home last Friday night, Eliza has enjoyed time at home.  A lot of time at home.  It's still hard to get her in and out of the house, but because she's getting stronger each day, it does get easier and easier.   Eliza appreciated a few opportunities to get out this week.

Also, she started having visits from her home bound teacher.  Each day she is working on homework and hopefully with some assistance she will be caught up academically soon.  Because she can get 

onto the piano bench from her wheel chair, she started practicing again.  Piano and voice lessons can probably begin again in the next week or so.

For a fun outing the other day we went to the Omelette Shoppe for brunch after physical therapy with Grandma Sue and Great Grandma Betty.  It was a beautiful, unseasonably warm day so Eliza and I walked home after we ate.  

Because we live across the street from the high school right now, Eliza benefits from the convenience for her friends and they stop by to visit often.  Almost daily she has lunch with friends and frequently we see them after school too.  

We are so thankful to Grandma Sue who is staying with us for a couple of weeks.  I'm not sure what we would have done in the past month without the support of grandparents.  

Two times this week Eliza went to physical therapy.  They worked her hard, and gave her lots of homework, but it's really helping already and we know that with her motivation she'll progress quickly.  I'm so proud of her determination and positive attitude.  

It is wonderful to have so many different people who care about Eliza and are taking different parts in helping her recovery.  We continue to be thankful for all of you who keep up with Eliza's story, show concern, and keep her in your thoughts an prayers.
