Madilyn is back to her self once again. After struggling to heal her foot and leg since October, she has finally healed enough to wear her tennis shoes and get back in the pool! This picture is the face of one happy girl! Our goal is for her to pass the swim test at the YMCA before
the outdoor pool opens in May. We have no doubt she will be able to do it!
Madilyn is working on those kicks and her favorite swim instructor, her Dad, is cheering her on. This is really helpful to her legs. Madilyn has severe muscle atrophy on her right leg. Her calf muscle is half the size of her left leg. Working her legs in the pool really helps strengthen those muscles. Kick, Madi, Kick!

After all those laps, Dad declares that it is time to play! Madilyn was practicingher hairstyling techniques on her Dad! There is a special
bond between these two. This picture says "I Love You!"
"Dad, just a little more water. Hold still!".
"Do we have to go Mom?..... Can't I just live in the waterand be a mermaid?" No, we have to go! Remember,
Dad promised you a frosty because you swam half the
length of the pool! That was all she needed to hear .....

A little Jill!! I am so glad she is back in the water and have no doubt that her muscle is going to grow big and strong. I bet a little wrestling goes on with brother and sister at home:)
