Day six of eight finished of Art Camp for Trystan. She seems to be loving it more every day! Seems to be money well spent. After camp Alyssa, Trystan, and myself headed to St. Louis for physical therapy at Children's Hospital. When I parked the car in the parking garage, I asked Trystan if she wanted to ride up in her wheelchair or if she wanted to try to walk it. She said, "If you can do it, then so can I!" So we headed up without her wheelchair. She did awesome! She walked up with her walker from the parking garage to physical therapy. After physical therapy was over, she asked if we could go out to the garden on the roof. The three of us then walked up to the garden and looked around. It brought back many memories when we spent so many days there in the past year. The Olson Garden was one of the favorite places Trystan and Alyssa both enjoyed while staying at the hospital for chemotherapy. When we were finished in the garden we headed back down to the car. Trystan walked the entire time with her walker and never complained! Not once! We are all super proud of her. We love to see how she continues to get stronger, day-by-day. Daily we thank God for the continued blessings He gives. Tomorrow we have an afternoon appointment with Dr. McDonald. Please pray for a good report from the doctor.
