Hey there y'all. I'm back with a little update from, well, you know, Sunny California!
Things have been good here and Jayci is continuing to work hard at Project Walk, as you will see from the videos below. She worked with Jason the floor manager yesterday and he was excited to see things firing in her glutes and hip flexors. In the one video you can see her trying to pull her legs up and then having to push them down. Jason does say he is giving her help, but he can definitely feel when she is initiating the movement. It just isn't constant yet. Her last hour she worked with Bri and she had her standing with the harness instead of just the standing frame and Jayci liked that a lot better. As you can see in the video, she is standing straight and looks soooo good. She was pretty excited also as Shawn had me stand beside her and it would appear that Jayci is indeed taller then her mama. Not sure why this excites them so much. I mean, it's not like this is exactly a huge accomplishment. There is also video of Jayci on the spin bike. Now, while Bri and Kyle are moving her legs, she is supposed to be helping, but what is huge about this is that last time we were here Jayci only lasted about a minute because it was too hard on her shoulders. As you can see, those shoulders are much, much better. She was on there for probably 15 or 20 minutes yesterday. YEAH!!!!
Jayci has today off as WE ARE PICKING CASS UP!!!! WOO HOO! She was supposed to be in San Diego at 11:45 but I just received a text from her and there is a half hour delay.???? Don't they know I'm waiting???? After we pick her up, think we are going to head to the zoo. It's a little cooler here so it should be a good day for the zoo. Not too hot. Not that I am complaining at all. Could you imagine if you were somewhere and it was still snowing??? Speaking of that, I like to check up on the news back home and had a good laugh one day last week. These were the headlines from Swift Current, all on the same day. It was something like this; Flood watch ongoing; Icy roads around the province; More snow on the way; Thunderstorm in the forecast; Golf course set to open. Crazzzyyy!
I also included a video showing off the talents of my youngest two (don't tell the Grandmas). Always have been double trouble and some things don't change! This was last Saturday when we were outside enjoying, well, never mind. Shawn had gone to see about a tattoo, ya, another one. Die hard or dumb ...? Anyways, he was gone for like 8 hours. He was told the wait would be a couple hours and that was fine with him but then it turned into 3 and 4 and 5 hours???? He thought that since he had sat there that long already, that he would just continue to wait. I don't know, but I'm leaning towards the dumb ...! (jk jk) He did get a discount on the price (whoop whoop). Anyways, he comes back and shows me and I said "A windmill? Why did you get a windmill?" Well, turns out it's not a windmill. It's the sun. Oops! My bad!!!!
Well, better get going. Did I mention Cass is coming today???!!!
Take care!
Love Starla
To my peeps at the office - only 12.5 more days!!! Don't stress! I will be back to help out the last day!!!!

ReplyDeleteI KNEW it!!!!
ReplyDeletenice to get an update, glad things are working out so well, time and energy and a few prayers in between make miracles happen, take care all, love u all and drive home safely
ReplyDeleteWell, Jayci, looks like all your hard work is paying off. Glad the videos are being posted. We can actually see what you are doing. It's great to see how much mobility you've achieved. Keep up the good work. Hang onto your patience. Slow and steady accomplishes a lot.(as we can see from the videos.)
ReplyDeleteWindmills are good. Lots of people get a sun tattoo. Very few get a windmill. Shawn must be special!!!
Oh! Starla. Leave the youngsters alone. They are just showing us how dull it is in a warm & sunny State. They likely wish they were in Speed Creek with all the wind & snow & rain & cold & clouds & floods & snow & cold. Right, JC & Ty?
Driving in tandem. Hmmmm - new fad?
Don't worry about getting back to work, Starla. Our taxes are done and in record time and no errors. Way to go, team!
Are you anxious for Cassi to arrive?
Well, gang. Keep up the good work.
We love you all very much.
Proud of you, Jayci.
Your favorite Aunt & Uncle,
Jack & Jacki
When we first started seeing videos of Jayci she could hardly move her head. Now she is standing, riding, squatting and in the bottom video it looks like she has no problems turning her head. Way to go Jayci! You truly are an ispiration!!!
