hip hip hurray...

for Jessie...

Stage 1...sitting on the couch...

Stage 2...standing with daddy's assistance...

(as you can see on her face she really enjoys this)

Jessie's teachers at school have been working on her standing for a long time now. They hope to have her walking some day. That will be a miracle if they do.

When you don't see Jessie standing every day you don't realize how tall she has gotten. She is now 4'10" tall. That's pretty tall. She has finally gotten to my mom's height. I can't believe my mom and Jessie is that tall.

This week Jessie got a new bed. First we had to clean her room. We had to take down her old bed to make room for the delivery of her new bed.

Here she is on the floor with just her mattress. Max and Crue wanted to hang out with her and she loved it!

Craig and I have been trying to get her a new bed for almost a year now. Craig called her pediatrician for assistance and it was like an act of congress to even get in for an appointment. We felt we should get another doctor for the kids. On Monday, Craig called another pediatrician. By Wednesday Jessie had an appointment and then by Friday....

Wallah...

A New Bed !!!

Her new bed is a hospital bed. You can use the crank to crank her bed up or down. This will be very helpful with lifting her in and out of bed. Then the head and legs will go up and down. This will be helpful when she is sick. We can lift her head to help with her breathing, especially now because her nose is still deviated from when her nose was broken. She still has trouble breathing and this is always a worry for us.

We are pleased with our new pediatrician. He and his office are on the ball. I can't believe how helpful they were compared to our old pediatrician!
