I DROVE!! 🎉

For the past six weeks my wonderful neighbor, Andrea, has been getting my Starbucks and delivering it to my door. Thank you, Andrea!! It felt pretty darn good to be able to drive myself this morning and return the favor. I was pretty stiff, but it felt like a huge step towards “normal.”

A lot of people have been asking about Ella. She’s doing ok. There are good days and bad days. They have group therapy every day with peers and that tends to be the hardest for her. She has always begged for siblings and I think she’s seeing the reality of having them! Lol. She has an assigned horse named Bones, who she’s made great progress with.

He let her touch him for the first time last week and he now knows he can trust her. Similar to building up trust with a therapist!

We will finally get to visit her for Christmas. We will drive there because I’m not supposed to fly for 3 months. Flying during the holidays sounds very unappealing to me right now anyway.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

  1. Congratulations on driving, Amy!! Such a great milestone and I imagine driving must help you feel like things are slowly getting back to normal. Hooray! I am thankful for you, my friend, and for your successful surgery and ongoing healing. Love you! 😘
