Walking Again
April 30, 2005 10:11 AM

Since the last update Juliana has gotten her helmet. Getting it on is quite difficult, but once we get it on and she adjusts to it she is alright with it. She has also started walking again recently. She had just started walking before surgery, but afterward we had to start all over again. We are preparing to travel to London for a week or so coming up in just a few weeks. We are going to do an interview about the documentary that we have been working on since January. The documentary is scheduled to air in London just before we go and here in the states on Discovery Health some time this summer.

She is loving the beautiful Florida weather that we are having. She has been able to play outside on the swingset and drive her car. Those are her favorite things to do outside. She gets out of the garage in her car and lifts her feet up to cruise down the driveway. She thinks it is pretty funny when we chase her.

The Wonderful Two's

Juliana is home after a short stay in Miami. The doctor decided to use a helmet to work as the distraction device should have. We will be going back to Miami to pick that up within the next two weeks.

Juliana is back to herself. Being a rambunctious two year old. Dumping all of the puzzles out together on the floor, sitting on the kitchen table and so many other thing to drive me crazy. But I wouldn't ask for her to be any other way. She is also continuing to learn sign language very quickly. She has learned several new signs lately. Her vocabulary is up to about 30 words now.
