This week has been a little out of our ordinary, since for the past few years we have been in Physical Therapy one to two times a week with the same therapist. This week marks the first of many to come without Mrs. Kim. We came to love her as we did Lizzy's PT with BabyNet, Mrs. Jen; and sadly we had to say our goodbye. Mrs. Kim had to move out of state, so her time with Lizzy was cut short. But, in those times we have had so many wonderful things happen.

Lizzy was able to get KAFOs (Knee, Ankle, Foot Orthodox) to help with stretching her hip/thigh out. She has a new wheelchair in the works of being built that will help her in every way possible. Kim has been so awesome with trying everything to help Lizzy achieve goals we set for her. She wouldn't stop trying either, by coming up with ideas and seeing if those ideas could be made a reality.
Kim even made sure that Lizzy would not go without PT in her absents, for this I can never be more grateful! We might not be in PT twice a week, but I will take that one day a week above none at all. With Mrs. Kim by Lizzy's side, even if it isn't physically there, this little girl will keep her goals in check.

As far as Lizzy's chair goes, Kim has helped work with the medical equipment guys to insure that this will be exactly what Lizzy needs. She is that voice for us when we are not able to speak. She knows exactly what is needed and where to go to get it, or whom to go to, to get the ball moving. I can not wait till Lizzy gets her new chair so we can send Mrs. Kim video of Lizzy in it. Along with video/photos of Lizzy standing full upright with her KAFOs on.
