Our Zoey girl continues to heal. She is doing amazingly well and quickly figured out how to get where she wanted to go.
If she wanted to go upstairs, she scooted up and down on her bottom. When she got to the top though, she didn't have her walker. Hmmm...what to do? Usually she dispensed one of her little toadies {Kate or Jake} to get it. Eventually, Miss Independent-pants, started carrying it up herself--on.her.lap.
When we go out to the car, she scoots down the steps in the garage and then hops out to the car.
One day when she got into her carseat, she grinned up at me and said, "Am I amazing girl?"
Oh yes, my spunky girl...you are amazing.
I am so thankful for her great attitude.
She has had a few moments of frustration and sadness. One night when the kids were running around the house, she was doing her best to keep up with them, using her walker. When she couldn't, she started to cry.
Another day, some minor thing set her off and she couldn't stop crying. I held her for about 20 minutes as she sobbed and sobbed. When I asked her why she was crying, she wailed,
"I don't know."
Maybe it was her way of grieving her loss...maybe she was overwhelmed with everything...or maybe she was doing an impersonation of a teenage girl...I don't know.
However, she was soon back to her smiley self.
She definitely tires more easily and falls asleep every time we ride in the car. And at times when she is tired, she wants to be carried rather than walk. We are only too glad to help her out!
Today was the first day that she mentioned it was starting to itch under her cast. For those of you who have dealt with this, does Ben*dryl help?
