    All of the family is happy to have our T'leese home from the hospital. There were a few days in there that the kids were sobbing because of how much they missed her.  When she came through the door we had to keep her siblings from knocking her to the floor with their hugs.  She is still very week and has a difficult time climbing stairs and raising her arm above her head.  She has to have help washing her hair, climbing in and out of the tub, combing her hair, getting dressed, going up and down the stairs, standing up from any sitting position.  

We were told that this is the hard part, to allow her body time to heal the nerves that were damaged.

    Day by day we can see that she is getting stronger and is beginning to move a little faster.  However, she still has a long way to go.

    Leesy now qualifies for Home-bound with the school and will be busy with making up all of the homework that she has missed.  She cannot wait until she is strong enough to go back to school because she misses all of her friends.  However, with her lack of  balance, having a bottom locker, having stairs at her school, and two classes outside it would be scary to send her back.  So, for now she has to deal with school at home (Syrena is a bit jealous because she hates school and would rather be at home and T'leese would gladly trade her places).
