Well, it's been a fast changing and tough few weeks since my last entry.
Everywhere we go, people keep comming up to us, just to talk to Mic and tell us how inspiring they find my little girl. It's like living with a celebrity. Sometimes, MJ seems a little scared, but other times, she quite seems to like her celebrity status. When we go out in the street, and MJ walks around, neighbours come out just to watch her walk about the neighbourhood, just like she used to.
Exactly 3 months after her accident, I had to face one of the toughest decisions. I let MJ go out without me. I let her hang out with her friends. I was so scared and kept looking out the window to watch where she was. It was great to see my baby girl doing things she used to, 'normal' things. The patience and compassion of her mates astounds me.
Mostly, MJ is bored and doesn't have a very good attention span, but she is so determined.
We went Christmas shopping yesterday (Sunday) and she asked me not to take her wheelchair. She walked slowly around town and bless her little soul, she was in pain at the end of it all. We were in town for 3 hours and although we took breaks, I think it was too much for her little legs.
MJ still gets thought processes mixed up. Instead of asking for a drink, she asks what type of drink. Then, she thinks about it and gets the question right. Odd.
Other than that, physio seems to be going well as does the schooling. Now we look forward to Christmas. Merry Christmas!
