We were cleared to go to parks in which we carried Josie around and helped her slide down the slides etc... Lilly was the best big sister! She was her number one cheerleader.
Crawling was hard work!
Playing with Dad is always fun!
We started PT in March to build back Josie's strength. She was on a new phase of the chemo which had no steroids involved. Which is a good thing! Smiles, singing, sleeping better, and the desire to play were back. Sitting up on the floor more than 5 Min's at a time was very difficult in the beginning and it would wear her right out. Tear at your heart strings. Crawling was out of the question. Therefore our two year old who had walked for a year was really debilitated and immobile. Laying in a bed for most of January and all of February did a number on her muscles. The week before we started PT we practiced crawling every where. She just wanted to scoot on her behind. Her legs hurt and she knew she could at least do that to get around. Her little arms would shake and then she would just lay down when she tried to crawl. But the little tiger in her was still there and she got moving, crawling and walking really quickly. We still cant do stairs but still are working on that!

What a sweet little thing. She looks just beautiful and I'm so glad she's walking again. that would be heartbreaking to see your little one struggling to do something that was so simple just months before. I'm glad things are looking up.

Josie couldn't be cuter. Glad she's moving around again--she a tough cookie, that's for sure. Just like her mama :)
