I had to comment because of your comment about taking things for granted. I've been recovering from having both feet reconstructed and on Monday I stood on my own two feet for the first time in ages. You're completely right, it's those little things that are so wonderful to achieve.

I'm so proud I could burst!! Well done little Eden.
That is absolutely the best thing I have seen in a while! Billie, I am just so happy to see this. We will never really know the strength and will that this little girl has. Unbelievable!
Miracle after miracle after miracle. That little girl is truly amazing! What a Christmas gift for you all!
And I love the shoes :)

Billie- I am so happy for you and Eden. It was so exciting to check your blog and see Eden standing up. I am sure it's the best Christmas present anyone could have given you. Keep up the good work, miracles do happen! Who knows, in a year she may be walking all over the place trying to keep up with Holland. Wouldn't that be grand.

Speaking of Eden doing things everyday to make me cry...
[Image]Eden was so excited about standing by the couch. She has never been able to bear any weight on her legs, but we are very SLOWLY starting to see some progress. She worked so hard with Daddy for over 15 minutes practicing holding her weight, and readjusting the position of her feet to balance herself. She was holding herself up by the couch for a couple of seconds at a time and was so proud of herself. She didn't want to stop! In fact, when we had to stop she kept signing "more, more."
It's the little things, that people with "normal" kids take for granted...
