Summer update

I am aware I have not really written for ages about how Summer is doing, its easy to just muddle along taking everything as it comes when you are with her everyday.
So how is she? Apart from amazing, vivacious and cheeky she is doing really well. We are still working on standing with her splints and we have a little walking frame which we are trying to use, she is quite reluctant so we just keep perservering. She has a wheeled standing frame at nursery which means that she can propel herself around, which she likes to do.

We had a review about her hydrocephalus and her consultant has essentially said that she should remain fine, the operation when she was 8 weeks old worked so well. We obviously can never totally forget about it, but day to day it does not affect her.

Continance. If Summer ever reads this in the future,then sorry for discussing something so personal! We have started to try and manage her toilet needs a little more, this is going quite well but is time consuming.
In general she is developing so well, she is a joy to be around, she loves her little sister and is always happy.

Prayer requests would probably be 1) For time and energy to carry out physio to get Summer standing and hopefully walking. 2) That we would have her continance managed before she gets to school ( something that cannot be garenteed) 3) That as she has more equipment around her, people would still see Summer and not the things around her.
Most of all that we would manage to parent well, teach her about Godslove and show her and Katie how special and precious they are to us.
