"At some point, you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life"

We've had a crazy day today. Tomorrow Brody and Gracie will start Physical Therapy again. The big thing is that we will also be ordering some "equipment" for them. Gracie will have a walker... something along the lines of this:

Drive LT 2100 Luminator Anterior <em>Gait Trainer</em>

No worries, I will bejewel/ bling this thing out to fit her personality! It could be worse... she could need a wheel chair and never walk! This is temporary because we have a smart, feisty, determined little girl! Also, I was given a huge boost of hope with her leg/ knee issue. Our PT feels like we can stretch her leg with a special brace at night that will really help her and there have been cases where a kid never needs surgery to release the contracture! I'm excited!!!
Brody man will get something along the lines of this:
 Snug Seat Giraffe Pediatric Standerthat will force him to stand. He really needs to be forced to stand because by now I'm sure you all know, he is a lazy little booger. I really hate this because it reminds me of a stretcher that is up right but its very temporary. And again, at least we aren't ordering a wheel chair and he is capable of walking.
Overall I'm excited. They both need to be walking by their second birthday so we need to get busy and get them in the best position possible to do so.
I was able to get out last night and attend an event at church. It was great and I just love the events there. It was a really busy day though and I was wiped out by the time I got home at 10pm. As soon as I walked in the door Madi woke up screaming with a stomachache. I think she has a very big problem drinking milk. Well be back at the Pedi on Friday for their 18 month check up and shots so I'll ask him what he thinks then.
I'll update again soon!
