Cooking the Noodle Legs

Each day since Rachel had her purple people eater casts removed-she has made her noodle legs work hard. No surprise-she is back to refusing to use her walker determined to do it on her own.

Hard work, determination are not only beliefs from the Biggest Loser but they are Rachel's code also.

The bottoms of her cast shoes are like us ladies wearing wedges. Besides working weakened leg muscles she is working double time on her ability to balance. Hard work determination pay off- she is standing longer and able to stand herself up frequently without needing to hold onto anything.

Rachel is at 3-5 independent steps. Keep up the hard work and determination Rachel! I am so proud of her and love her happy look when she knows how good she is doing.

Rachel enjoyed playing in the ballpit when Gia visited today. The ballpit in Rachel's room was one of the first places she demanded to play in after the long leg casts were removed. She has a slide that she climbs up and slides down into the ballpit.
