June 16

Leanne's dismissal date seems to be getting closer! In the last week or two the middle of July seemed to be the goal for her to go home. Yesterday a therapist came over to make sure that Leanne could safely move around our house. She told Leanne if she worked at some exercises at home on the weekends, and showed (on video) her therapists at the hospital how easily she moves around now (even from the house over the uneven lawn to the pond), there should be no reason why she shouldn't go home sooner. As long she can get proper therapy in St. Catharine's she would not need to be in Toronto much longer. We like that idea!
There is definite improvement in her right arm. Though the muscles are still weak we notice new things that she can do every week. She really has to concentrate on those movements, so generally her arm does hang at her side. God has shown his goodness again and again as we see her gain strength every weekend that she comes home. So tomorrow we will go to His house with our whole family and sing praises to Him who cares for us all.
