    Paper flowers

    Jessica and Namine made paper flowers!

  • Namine’s reason

    Namine’s reason

    A number of weeks ago, Namine was seen for the second time by a neuropsychologist. We have since seen and read the report, and we are not convinced she’s correct.

  • Putting on braces

    Putting on braces

    I love to write about Namine’s progress in her walker. I haven’t written as much about her braces, though.

  • On the treadmill

    On the treadmill

    Physical therapy used to be twice a week. It has since been cut down to once a week, but it’s an hour and a half of discomfort at best — agony and pain at worst.

  • Reason for the pain

    Reason for the pain

    We went to our church’s evening service last night. I helped Namine draw from personal experience to understand the sermon’s lesson.

  • Preconceptions and limitations

    Preconceptions and limitations

    I’d like to think that I’ve matured enough to move past having preconceptions about what my daughter can do. I was wrong.

  • 2014 in review

    2014 in review

    I started out the year writing about Wolff’s Law. It seems fitting now, seeing how Namine has grown, and continues to grow — despite the assurances of doctors.

  • Getting taller

    Getting taller

    Jessica sent me some pictures of Namine in therapy yesterday. I was amazed at how tall Namine is getting.

  • Therapy morning

    I just want my bed, please.

  • Orthopedic visit

    Orthopedic visit

    When we told Namine she had an appointment with Dr. Black, we were met with a look of confusion.

  • Taking risks

    Taking risks

    With as much work as Namine has been doing in physical therapy lately, it got me thinking. It’s been over two years since her second foot surgery, and she’s come leaps and bounds (sometimes literally) since then. It simply amazes me, how strong and resilient my daughter is.

  • Kickball

    Kickball

    It had been a while since Namine had last gotten to kick the beach ball around at therapy. But doing so again reminded her how much she loved it.
