Happy New Year!

     Happy New Year to all and God Bless!  It has been quite the whirlwind adjusting to life at the house.  Everything seems to take so long, but we are slowly getting the whole family involved and are becoming a bit more efficient.  We've also had quite a few visitors with it being the holiday week and all...
     Jacoby is getting stronger each day.  She was able to tolerate about 10 hours in her chair yesterday and continues to strengthen the muscles in her arms.  She was able to get off all anti-spasm medications a few days ago and is tolerating the spasms she does get just fine. 
     She had a good time with the kids from her youth group the other night and we had a nice little New Years Eve get together with some extended family and a few neighbors.  She ventured outside and around the ball fields by our house for the first time today.  It was a little chilly out, but she had a good time.  Nice to get some fresh air...

    Dear Jacoby,

    As a former gymnast, stories like yours teach me to value life so much more and inspire me not to give up on any of the challenges we must face everyday as human beings. I will follow your blog as a reminder that it is possible to be strong even during the darkest times.

    Best wishes from Brazil,

    Pedro

    Your friends and family are great to see! Praying for strength in all the transitions. Trust that the Lord has great plans for you and your family. How exciting that He is chosen you to be an example of His work. Never forget how beautiful and talented you are. Have a wonderful day tomorrow and keep using your arms!

    Hi Jacoby -
    Don't lose heart. God is not through with you or your family. He is just beginning a great work that will bring tears of joy and thankfulness! I pray for you constantly and am encouraged by your progress, even it it seems small! You are blessed in love - stay beautiful and trusting in the Lord and the family's love. Keep up the hard work!
