Week 7- Putting on my big girl pants

Week seven is when my mom left to go visit my siblings in California, where she managed to secure a place to stay now as well, she is a crafty lady. I cried, a lot. My mom is my best friend and was the one that sat next to me when the drugs made me crazy, helped me in and out of the shower and for the seven weeks she had been here as my roommate. I hated watching her go but it was time to put my big girl pants on and get down to business.

Lunch after the surgeon appointment and before her flight out. 

I also saw Dr. Muller this week and he couldn't believe my progress. He said I was way ahead of where everyone assumed I would be. It would be a lie to say that that didn't feel great to hear. Again, how great are these blessings that God provided me with through this whole process and then to give me that loving affirmation through the people around me. I am constantly amazed at his awesome love.

I also got to start going on solo missions with the kids and carrying Emi on me instead of the stroller, much easier. We still had daily walks but I brought the kids with me now. They have gotten so good at walking with me and PBG. I am so proud of them. I also added planks during this week in PT. Planks aren't the most difficult things in the world but when your hip feels like it is just about to fall out of socket, it sure isn't easy :). Things don't really start getting interesting for another four weeks or so but the whole journey has been eye opening and a great reminder of how much God loves me.
