Such an amazing blessing!

I just got the tax information in the mail from Madi's Amazon Associate's Account.  Last year, our commission from Amazon purchases was over $800!!!   Can you believe it?!?!?!?!  It has been such a HUGE blessing to have this money for Madi.  With it we were able to purchase forearm crutches, her Rifton Dynamic Stander (mobile stander), her little training pants so she can have "big girl undees" and her First Toddle system, which got her WALKING!  I wanted to say a big "thank you" to everyone who purchases through her link and/or shares it with your friends and family.  I know it seems like no big deal, but it really amounts to something huge!  We are able to give Madi those "extra" things that add so much to her quality of life and self-esteem because of this money.  THANK YOU for blessing our family!

Madi showing off her stander....

Proudly displaying her "big girl undees"... Don't ask me how her legs can do that!  At least she is getting good at fixing them and not 'w-sitting'!

Showing off her first toddle system

We modified a little purse from the consignment store for Madi's stander.  Now she has a place for all of her treasures and her baby dolls!

Madi loved meeting Corbin of Zebra Sports at a friend's party.  She thought his chair was pretty amazing!

P.S.  Madi's stander is a Rifton Dynamic Stander.  For more information, go to http://www.rifton.com/products/standing/ :)

Nothing can stop her now!

Today we got to go pick up Madi's first ever wheelchair!  We had fun waiting for it and trying out different chairs while we did, as you will see below.  Madi calls it her "zoom zoom" and it is the cutest little thing I have ever seen.  Madi is already in love!  She amazed the therapists by getting on and zooming away.  She was so ready for this!  She got home and wanted in it right away.  She played at her play kitchen for a while then went to explore.  She even got a little help from her brother, who decided it needed to go a little faster.  Now we get to work on all kinds of fun stuff, like we never zoom in the street without mommy and daddy right there.  Without further ado, here it is!

We saw it right away!

 Conner is such a great helper!!

And in other news....

Madi is frustrated by her walker and just wants to go.  Tami and I decided forearm crutches might be a great thing for her to use instead of a walker.  Of course, trying to order a pair would take another 4 months, and we need them now, so I went ahead and ordered them online with Madi's Amazon Associate's Account money.  Yeah for having that money!!!!!  I got her these.... http://www.walkeasy.com/shop/product_details.asp?ProductCode=562 and we should have them in a few days.  Another HUGE thank you to everyone who purchases with her link.  I know it seems like no big deal, since it's stuff you are ordering anyway, but it gets us the things we need to help Madi succeed, and that is priceless!  Thank you again!
