Onward & Upward

Hi Everyone,
This afternoon, we're very happy to report, Natalia walked : )

We're not talking 1 or 2 steps here. We're talking full-on-no-holds-barred-taking-physio-up-a-notch walking all the way to the end of the hallway.

Just around the corner, with new tracheostomy tube installed, will be the ability to speak again.

And something Natalia's expressed particular excitement about: very soon the ability to be done with the feeding tube and start being able to eat solid food again (I don't think she'll be able to keep up with baby Scarlett, but that's a whole other story...)

Will keep you posted as more gains are made...
All the best,
Myles

A couple days ago, you titled the post "One Step & Victory At A Time." Not content to stop at "one step" NATALIA TOOK A FULL-ON WALK!! Praising God with delight and joy here in the Seattle area!

Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall WALK and not faint.

In God's love, Michal
