Video – Strolling Sally

Strolling Sally

GO SALLY GO!

Hi all – Sally starts Hell Week 2 of the cycle today and is on her way to Memorial Sloan Kettering as I type. We just wanted to quickly share this :38 second video taken over the weekend. As we’ve said before, all of the treatment Sally goes through has put her behind developmentally, and will continue to do so until we get her through this. Mommy and Sally’s therapists have worked really hard over the last few months trying to do what they can to keep her development moving forward.

On Saturday, Sally took a giant step by walking across the room only supported by a push toy. I also included a photo I took of Nicole and the boys rooting her on at the end, after which William gave Sally a big hug. It may be a hill for other kids, but for us was a mountain.

You can view the video by clicking here, hopefully it will brighten your day if you haven’t seen it yet.

Please keep Sally in your thoughts and prayers.

Matt
