Much Due Update

I'm so sorry for my untimely update! School, work, and an internship are definitely keeping me very busy. Macey continues to go to therapy from 11-4 Monday through Friday at Center for Neuro Skills in Bakersfield! She is definitely worn out by the end of the day! Also Macey is working on walking with the help of a walker! She actually is no longer allowed to bring her wheelchair to CNS, so she can practice walking as much as possible. Also she has managed to perfect lifting herself up the stairs with her arms to sleep in her own bed after 2 whole months of hospital beds and the couch. CNS has been assessing Macey with tons of tests since she began going there. On Tuesday they held a conference to discuss what level Macey was at and what things she needed to work on. Macey is at a junior in college level, which is amazing news given she is only a sophomore in college! Such a smart girl! She has very minor cognitive and physical issues that she will continue to work on in therapy. They predict she will continue her therapy for another 2-3 months. Macey's spirit and outlook on life now is inspirational. I rarely ever hear her complain. She realizes she has been given the gift of life. Missing out on school, friends, and her old lifestyle is irrelevant to the gift she has received from God. Every time I think negatively about stress or just daily activities, I think of my sister and a smile comes to my face. Life is so precious we've learned, I thank God for every day I have been given. God bless and thank you for your continued prayers and support.

  1. You beautifully put that into words, because of your sissy's miricale she has has definately help me see through the tough obsticles and see more of the greater things in life. This may sound strange but every time I drive past your house to go home, I too smile because I know that Macey is home and doing well and also that God has been so great! Thank you for updating I know how tough it is to keep up with a ton of priorities! Good luck with school, work, and your internship!
