April Update


Hi Everyone,
Well things are going good around here. Savannah is now 6 months old and growing like a weed. She’s such a sweet baby! We have so much fun together.  I feel so blessed that I’m able to stay home and take care of her all day. 



Scott and I are also very busy with the boys. They're both doing well in school. They are also both still playing club baseball and have many games and tournaments. It’s so much fun watching them play. Parker also plays for his 8th grade school team. Hunter looks forward to playing for his school also once he starts  Jr. High next year.
I’m still volunteering all day on most Tuesdays at Brisas the school I used to teach at.  My mom watches Savannah that day so I can go. I enjoy it and it’s nice to get my “teacher fix. “ I love the students and staff there so much.  
I’m still working out hard in Physical Therapy. The only difference is now with the baby I only have time to do it twice a week for about 2 hours each time. I am getting my core and arms back in shape. I’m still able to do lots of sit ups and I’m standing good and will get stronger with walking longer distances as I continue to get back to where I was strength wise before her birth.  I know I will get there soon. 





I also spend time most days talking with or e-mailing with other Spinal Cord Injury patients that need advise or support with things. They contact me through my You-tube video, the Cell Medicine website, or my blog. I feel so good to be able to give back that way. I have met some wonderful people through all of this. 

The Dr's. from Cell Medicine came to  Arizona to present a Stem Cell Seminar. It was a great event and I loved getting the chance to see some past patients and  the wonderful Dr.’s again. They did a video update on me to share what has changed since the last time I spoke at their seminar in San Diego. They're going to put the update on their site soon. You can also go to Cell Medicine to see my videos on there if you’re interested. 

Anyway, all is good and I will update again as things change. 
Take Care,
Trish
