Rachel's Milestone #1

Well Rachel finally reached a major milestone last night: rolling over. She will be 9 months this week. Most babies rollover way before this. Rachel's progress is slowed a little by the Spina Bifida and a little by the fact that she wears a hip brace for about 20 hours a day.We had her on the floor last night and everyone was in the living room with her. She worked and worked at it, and finally rolled from her back to her tummy. We all cheered and clapped! She knew she had done something wonderful but wasn't quite sure what. To put it in simple terms: Rachel's brain works just fine. Her body and especially her feet are structurally sound. It's just that the message is impeded from her head to her feet. The power station (brain) is producing. The light (feet) are in working order. There's just a problem with the electrical lines (her spinal cord).
