Hi Everyone,
Not to disappoint you but this is Marie!
It has been such a pleasure to read your notes to Corey, watch her become inspired by a word or sentence and have her ask to write back “to everyone”. Unfortunately, tonight she was not only tired but had developed a headache as well; she wasn’t up to writing.
We had a very nice weekend. Friday we FINALLY took home her new wheelchair! She is much more comfortable and loves the ability to scoot around on her own. She manipulates the direction with her right hand and propels her self with her right foot. You would think having one oar in the water would be difficult but she’s already getting the hang of it. To brake, she actually uses BOTH hands to lock the left/right brakes. Tomorrow I hope to take a longer video of her zipping around.
Aunt Diane visited us this weekend. Corey couldn’t wait to take her to her new favorite accessories store, Charming Charlie’s. She was ‘strolling’ through the store getting used to maneuvering the chair on her own and at one point I lost her! She took off towards the pink/purple section and I didn’t notice.
I think we might need to rename her…Danica Beattie!
I have a nurse tonight so I’m heading to bed to rest; I’m going to have to step up my game to keep up with Corey!
Happy dreams, xoxo
