Since I've been home there have been a few times that I have almost forgotten about SOJIA. That is a big step in the right direction. I don't know we'll ever really forget, but watching Emily smile a lot more and just be a happy child and enjoy life is lovely.
She is noticing her progress as well. The other day she asked me to watch her jump. That was her goal for physical therapy; to "jump again" and she was so pleased with herself when she did it. Last night she wanted to ride her scooter to the play ground. Usually going to the play ground means we have to push her there and back (a total of two blocks), but last night she rode/walked her scooter the whole way there.
There are just so many things we took for granted before SOJIA. It's nice to see Emily happy again and enjoying her childhood. My one wish for her now is to just love life no matter what happens, enjoy being alive and the thrill each new day brings with it.
