Ayla update 6-4-10

I have been meaning to send an update on Ayla all week but sometimes life gets in the way of email:)
Ayla is doing well. She had lots of fun in Florida and enjoyed the pool very much:)
Her leg that was bothering her seems to be fine now and she's walking around very well. She has fallen a few times which have resulted in a goose egg on her forehead and a scrapped knee, but no broken bones. When she does fall it's very strange...like her legs give out, not like she trips. I'm praying the falling stage will be over soon because it's not very much fun. She still isn't strong enough to break her fall, but her upper body stregnth is coming along. We bought her some new walking shoes and they seem to be making a big difference in the way she walks. She also got some custom made orthotics. Together they have almost eliminated the "knock kneed" walk.
She has a hard time walking in the grass because she can't pick her legs up and step at the same time. But it will come:)
She saw the OT this week and she was able to get Ayla to crawl on her hands and knees, which is a huge deal because she couldn't weight bare like that on her arms almost at all. It's tiring for her, but it's coming. Praise God:)
She's struggling a getting up from laying down. She can't seem to get the roll and push with the arm good enough to get herself up. The PT is hoping that that comes soon because it's something we have been working on for a while.
She is having lots of fun pushing around her stroller and shopping cart all over the house and playing outside.
I'm trying to put together a short power point presentation of the miracle God has done in her for our church, when it's done i'll send it out to you all.
Thanks so much for the love and support from you all.
God Bless!
