Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give you an update on what Maddie is up to these days. She is still not sure about her prosthetic. She likes to pull it off as she scoots around the house. She does so great without it, so we will see what she decides. We are still working with her to pull herself us on furniture. She is making progress, and I know one day she will get her little body off the ground:o) I know she can do it, and does not give up on anything! We were out of town this weekend at my parents house, and we were all watching WGN news. On the news was a story of a girl who was born with 1 limb. I believe she had her left arm with only two fingers. She is now older and it is unbelievable the things that she did! Swimming, Skateboarding, Snow Skiing, played piano, and many more! It was so neat to see a little girl so determined and not let anything hold her back! I just felt so encouraged after seeing that clip. I just know Maddie is going to teach us so much with the things she is going to do. It is very exciting! Just wanted to share that with all of you! Thank you for your continued prayers for Maddie.
Hey Heather!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and updates on Maddie. I've been meaning to tell you that I think of you guys almost daily. We have two little girls at our school that both were born with one limb. Neither little girl uses a prosthesis and it doesn't hold them back one iota! They are right in the middle of things with their friends. It's just very cool to see.
Hope things are going well with the move! I do not envy you. I've moved 4 times in the past 4 months and it was not the most fun, and I only had to worry about me. I pray that it goes smoothly and that the settling in process is a lot of fun (it's the best part of moving after all!)
Give the Jensen family a big hug from the Duncans!!
Love,
Emily
