Miss Caroline received a great report from her cardiologist on Friday. She's doing absolutely great. No more medicine. No more restrictions. Cleared for physical therapy. 12 pounds!!!! Praise God!
Along with the good report came her first round of physical therapy at the Bell Center today. Caroline has spent almost ZERO amount of time on stomach for at least 10 weeks. That's a long time when you're only 5 months old! She has some ground to recover since the muscles in her neck, back, arms and shoulders haven't been gaining strength. She got quite the workout today. However, she did AMAZINGLY well. She rolled from her front to her back two times all by herself! She could hold her head up and steady for several minutes at a time and was even strong enough to hold up her head and chest while reaching for a toy! I know that I'm just a proud mama, but seriously? This has got to be pretty close to miraculous, don't you think?? :)
She worked really hard for nearly 45 minutes before she pretty much pooped out completely. She may very well complain about just walking in the door at the Bell Center on Thursday, but the results will certainly be worth driving down there! Have I mentioned that that place works miracles???

Hey sweet friend! I am over joyed to hear how well Caroline is doing! It also makes me so happy that you all are going to the Bell Center. It's where Brad's Mom worked...for many years before she retired. It is such a special place with staff that loves what they do so much! Betty Bell is a wonderful woman - what a difference she has made in the lives of so many families! I can't wait to tell Sue about Caroline! You are in my prayers.
Now there is a chubby braddock baby! LOVE it!
She is so cute Katie. I know she is going to amaze you at all the new things she is going to do at each therapy session.
Katie,
She is so beautiful! I can't believe it has been so long since I have seen her :( I am glad that she is doing so well. You must be a proud mama!!!
