What an amazing party for an amazing girl! McKennlie had a great time seeing all of her friends and family and so did Chris and Mel! A huge thank you to everyone who helped and put in so much effort to make sure that McKennlie had an awesome party! McKennlie was even treated to her very own fireworks show because she missed the 4th and 24th of July! She loved every minute of it and even came inside after and raised her record on steps by herself to 78! She is such a trooper and keeps working so hard! I will post some pics of the party tomorrow:)!  We are so grateful for all the amazing people that surround this family and serve them and love them!

There are good days and then there are great days. Today was a great day! McKennlie went down for her first out patient therapy today and did amazing! She really likes her new therapists and was able to show them how much she can really do! She was able to walk 65 steps on her own today! It is AMAZING to watch her go! She is getting so much stronger and her balance is getting tons better everyday! Chris and Mel are SO OVERWHELMED with how wonderful everyone has been to their family!

Today was awesome! Mel went to the doctor and baby Caleb is doing great he is 6 lbs and all looks well!  Mel is hanging strong and doing awesome with all the stress! McKennlie had a funeral today for her honey bear that she has been having to drink from and she said "goodbye forever that's all"! She was not sad to see him go! McKennlie also had an all time record of steps by herself today of 24!!!!!! Way to go McKennlie! Before long we are going to have to chase her down! Also don't forget the PARTY on Friday from 6-8! Love you all and thanks for praying for our girl!

Today I asked McKennlie what she thought I should write on the blog and she said "nothing"!  Then she thought about it for a minute and said "I took 12 steps by myself"! I think that is definitely blog worthy! Okay so we are changing the welcome home party yet again. Now it will be Friday August 17th from 6-8. If everyone would please bring a treat to share that would be great! Mel and baby are still doing great and she goes back to the doctor on Tuesday and I will keep you posted.

Today marks the two month mark from the day of the accident. It is amazing to think back through all the tears, smiles, blessings,  heart stopping moments, relief, graditude and every other emotion you can imagine! We are so grateful that we are where we are today and that McKennlie has come so far towards her recovery. Yesterday McKennlie said " I took 6 steps and I have 6 days until I get to go home"! We are all so overwhelmed with all of the tender mercies from each of you and from our Father in Heaven. We are going to be having a BIG SURPRISE PARTY for McKennlie next Wednesday August 15th it will start at 6:30 and go until 8:30. We will be having it in Chris and Mel's backyard. They would love to see all of the people they love so much and we know you all can't wait to see McKennlie!
