>Okay, so I have to brag.  My family would have no use
>for this information, so I thought you would all
>appritiate it or at least understand why I am so
>thrilled.  As you probably know Lizzy Jo turned 2 Jan.
>8th.  She has mild spastic CP.  She crawls, walks with
>a walker, and untill now sat up only with support
>against her back.  Now for the exciting part:
>She was laying on the floor on her back ( her usual
>position of preference) tonight and wanted to sit up,
>I told her she'd have to wait as I was trying to get
>her year old sister Stephanie to sleep.  Well, I'll be
>darned if she didn't try to set her self up on the
>floor and after about 5 tries SHE DID IT BY HERSELF!!!
> I cried tears I was so excited for her!!  We have
>been working in therapy on this exclusively probably a
>good 6 months and she just couldn't do it, had no use
>to do it, or what ever.  As a matter in fact, today
>was therapy day and as usual, we worked and she
>couldn't do it.  Thank Goodness she has a strong
>will(although that does work against us at
>times)what's really funny she is a bit of a
>perfectionist also, and does not usually work on
>things that she is going to fail at in front of
>people.  So maybe now you can understand my
>excitement, not only did she reach this BIG milestone
>for her, but that she allowed me to be a part of
>seeing it.
>As I casually mentioned before my family has no use
>for this information.  They do not understand (nor do
>they want too) what a very big milestone this is for
>Lizzy and us as her parents.  This comes at a very
>good time, as my own faith in what we were told about
>what Lizzy would be able to do was dwendaling.  Just
>proves to me never give up!!!

>Love to all     Cindy Bushnell and Lizzy Jo
