we worked on gen's legs today. during pt, we laid her on her side on a mat. we put a short table between her legs and activated her thigh muscles with a massage wand. she moved her right leg at the thigh and at the knee. later in the day, while the doctor was visiting, gen's legs were dangling from her wheelchair. the doctor asked her to kick her legs out. she kicked her right leg out one to two inches and her left leg out three to four inches. we are very excited about it. we are stopping all work with the sip and puff devices. gen seems to do better with the head movement devices than the s. 'n' p. devices.

Hi, Susan here. Praise God!! I know how exciting this is for you Gen. I remember the first time I wiggled my big toe after trying for weeks to do it. We had a steak dinner that night in celebration. I'm so happy for you and I know the joy you are feeling!! What an answer to prayer!! Keep going girl, you can do it!! With God on your side, you are definitely living the fact that ALL things are possible. How all of you must be celebrating. Another milestone behind you. Susan House
Gen,
I know you'll be kicking butt soon! Keep up the hard work, it obviously is paying off. I have no doubt you will be speeding down the hall soon with the wheelchair on the insane speed yelling Whee! Gen, Susan & Josh Stay strong and keep us posted. Each posting boosts our hopes for you! you can do it, no matter what the challenge! love, Tracey
Sounds like things are going very well, and improvements being made every day. I reported to the Winsome class about your progress and it's an answcer to prayers from so many people. Well things are beginning to gear up for the Maple Leaf parade in October. You'll be here for it next year I bet. Keep up the good work and we're thinking of ALL of you constantly.
