The Blustery Day!

"And He took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God." -Acts 3:7-8

We are so excited about Santi walking today! We posted quite a few pictures of him...we're just so proud of him! Here is a portion of a letter Anita sent home today...

"Besides the storm raging outside the hospital walls, the biggest news is that Daddy took a nap! =) Olivia and I were Santi's little nurses for at least 4 hours. We drank coffee...not half as good as home.....watched Winnie the Pooh (The Blustery Day =) and ate blueberry muffins. I asked for some no-rinse shampoo and "washed" Santi's hair. That was interesting! Santi was all worried about getting the soap on his pillow, but we finally convinced him that a good smelling head was more important. =)

Santi was so excited about walking. He actually went around the hospital loop two times today (different times). His therapist, a really kind man, was totally floored that he had walked so much. I showed him the video clip to prove it.....he was pretty impressed. Everyone is saying that Monday is probably THE DAY.....I hope so. Well, must get back downstairs as Daddy is waiting for us."
