So sorry I havent blogged in a few weeks. Back at work been manic & Jaspey off big boy school & got this horrid horrid illness but hey ho Im back. Had an awesome visit with you yesterday. Me & Jasper were gonna come up on the train again as he so loved the journey last week but was raining on & off & lucky for us Kaylea wanted to come too. We arranged to come up to join you in your physio so I could film it for here but also see with my own eyes your amazing progress. It is truley incredible how far you have come in these weeks following your stroke & my god every post talks of how inspiring you are but I was just so overwhelkmed seeing you walk & transfer from chair to car so well. Thats what you were learning in your session today, car transfers. You walked most of the way only slightly aided by one physio on your good side encouraging you along & actually acting pretty stubborn & saying you can open the doors & making sure nothing was too easy for you. Alli & I were filming it all like the paparazzi we love to be & all the staff were loving how many cheerleaders you had. Its all so positive and lovely in this centre your in. The Donald Wilson House, at the back of Chichester Hospital. All the staff really love u & are so pushing you on every day with new tasks & positive words. Got a lot to cover but will finish off todays visit & cover that all in next post** (again sorry its been so long since last update)
So you walked to the car to transfer in & two physios working with you talked you through what they wanted you to do & how to do it the very best possible & safest way. Its strange as we all take for granted being a ble to lift our legs into a car slumping down into the chair & pulling the door shut. Everything is so much more sharp & analysed now & every ones emotions are on point with everything now to feel & experience anything. 
You done the car transfer two times, no maybe three in the hospital car & then tried Alli's car that is lower (and messier haha sorry Alli but u called it out before we did**) You did amazing again & were desperate to stay sat there & drive to Nando's & to go shopping. I hear you went out with Lorraine & Bets last week shopping in New Look & went courtesy of a big taxi & stayed in your wheelchair. Fun adventure for lil princess no doubt, kids just love new ve-hi-cales huh!! haha...You walked from Alli's car for two mins up a bloody hill aswell* Pretty exhausting since you hadnt been able to have physio for four days over the easter weekend. You had small exercises to do to strengthen your legs & ankles but not actual full physio. You walked in total nearly five minutes on & off & the nurses were so amazed as just last week your legs wanted to cross over with each step but they said your hips were balanced very well & your legs were super strong. They were very impressed with the bend in your left leg & how large your steps had got. In just a week thats huge progress with half that week having no treatments!! I filmed every section of the session & at the end when we coming back to your room were Alli, Kaylea & Evelyn, Jaspey, Grace & Lells were I was filming & all the bubbas had lined up to watch you and were desperate to cheer you on but were told to keep quiet so as not to make you loose focus until you had sat down. They were so bloody excited & happy & seing smoosh's face light up when she saw her super mama walking towards her was just a dream, so magical. Their little innocent hearts just show so much so honestly. Bloody lovely. Love & light boo xxx

ps- Your mum updating her facebook is too cute. "How proud am I ???? Carly all down to you and your determination." her fb status yesterday-super cutee booty**
