'SUPER GOOD LIBBY NEWS / Caring Bridge!
Libby "had a real break-through today"! She said several words clearly like Lester, Bye Mark, Hi, I'm fine - isn't that awesome?! Also said the therapists are very happy by her progress. Yesterday she sat in chair for over an hour (with support) and then today in the PT room, she sat for a few minutes unassisted and then again in the chair with support. Pia (PT Therapist) told Lester she is very encouraged about Libby's abilities and willingness to try. Being able to sit unassisted is a big goal for her but is necessary before other therapies can be worked on. Lester said Amy (Speech Therapist) & Libby were "talking" the whole session. Dr. D came by to check on her and remove her staples from the surgery with the shunt. Cathy has been up there along with Doris visiting and encouraging Libby. Sounds like an incredible day & I can hardly wait to see her tonight. Closing with a big grateful Hallelujah! - Sister Sarah'
