Mom went on a bike ride yesterday and she did awesome! It was a hand bike though but those things are actually really cool; they have more comfortable seats. Mom was able to move her leg up like a march and she is getting more and more movement in her right leg and foot. Her wheelchair has new wheels, the are power wheels that help keep the momentum going as she pushes. The results; it makes it easier for her to go up hills and be a little lazy if she wants, but not too lazy cuz those things go crazy and start moving around like a possessed pair of wheels. I had to try them out and that's why I know so much about them. Hey I don't want my mom to get hurt, so I have to always play with her stuff. wink. Honestly this summer has been hard but a lot of fun. Who ever knew that a hospital would have stuff to do that would be memorable and something to do with mom. Bobby and I have been taking mom to the mall and the walmart on the public transportation. That has also been fun and gives us another reason to get out of the hospital for a while. Yes it is fun sometimes but sometimes its really really boring. Mom is doing good, just having fun and going along on the ride the Lord has planed for her.

  1. You crack me up, Mercedes! I'm so glad that you guys have been able to get out into the "real world"...I bet your mom appreciates that a lot! The real question is what will Bobby do for fun when you guys leave??!!! :) Glad to hear that times are good (hard, but good!). Lots of love, Ashley Kent :)
