Finally - YAHOO!

Samantha had a good day yesterday and a great day today.  Finally she has been feeling better.

We had a wonderful lunch with friends on Saturday.  Samantha stayed off the couch all day!  She has lost a bit of weight over the last couple weeks, so it was really nice to see her eat.

After a great lunch both Isabella and Samantha set up a blanket in the front yard to just hang out and enjoy the weather while I cleaned out my front gardens.  My forsythia bush is almost in full yellow bloom and I have daffodils popping up everywhere.  We haven't got a lot of moisture this month so we are hoping for snow or at least rain soon.  We usually get most of our snow in March and April - but this year we have had really warm and windy weather.

It was such a beautiful day that the girls talked me into going out for ice cream - totally twisted my arm!  :)

Today - Samantha hung out at her dad's house to celebrate his birthday.  Jeremy and I met up with other friends and we headed to the zoo.  We spent another beautiful day outside.  Isabella was pooped.  Jeremy cooked up some steaks and we are just wrapping up a relaxing day.

Samantha's leg is looking fantastic.  The swelling at the surgical site is mostly gone.  There is still a bit of draining going on but much less than before.  She has started her exercises again and will be attacking her homework tomorrow.  I feel that we are on track to have her leg cast for her socket next week.  Then we are planning on about a week turnaround while they prepare the prosthetic and Sam is off.  She will have about 4 weeks of physical therapy (3 times a week).

Can you believe she will be walking in 3 weeks?  

YAHOO!
