More School

Starting next week, Will is going to attend school M-Th mornings and all day on Friday. This makes him happy because he is more back to "normal" but sad because now he has homework :)

A HUGE step for Will is to use his walker in public. On Thursday his therapists had him walk three blocks from the clinic to a restaurant. He wasn't happy, but he did it. Only to beat that goal by using his walker at SCHOOL (huge huge milestone).

On Thursday night we went to watch Paige's basketball game and Will walked from the car to the gym, across the gym floor and sat in the bleachers. This was in front of a gym filled with players, spectators and cheerleaders (key word)! Then on Friday while at school he walked around campus. His biggest fear is that people will stare at him and think bad things. What he has found is yes, people look at him, but they SAY things like "you go Will.....great job....you the man".

Great news for our Paige - she made it on the honour roll this quarter! For those of you who know her well - you KNOW this is BIG! Way to go Paige - we are so proud.

I'm running in my first 1/2 marathon tomorrow! Meeting up with my Canadian girlfriends today and making a weekend out of it!

Hi Will!
I am so PROUD of you walking with the walker! That walker is your friend. It will help your body to learn how to walk without it!!!
You keep it up. I miss you and think of you SO much. Keep up the good attitude. Miss you ...
