ups and downs

6/19/2012

This past weekend we went to the cabin (baby John's first visit).  When Steve pulled into our parking spot, at the top of the hill, I got out of the 4Runner and grabbed John and his car seat.  I began carrying the heavy car seat down the hill to our cabin.  Halfway down the hill, I realized that not only was I walking down the hill without assistance, but I was also carrying a 10+ lbs in my arms. 

The first five years we owned the cabin I was not physically capable of walking up or down the hill that leads to our home away from home.  Steve always had to take my arm and at times carry me up the hill.  At that time, I had absolutely no independence at our lake place..  It amazes me how far I have come since my new diagnosis. 

As I walked down the hill carrying my son all I could think about was that I used to be carried down the hill, but now I am the one carrying a heavy baby down without the fear of wondering if I will make it.  God is wonderful!

    After living the first 33 years of my life thinking I had Spastic Diplegia, a form of Cerebal Palsey, I was correctly diagnosed with Dopa Responsive Dystonia (DRD). I am on new medication and doing things that I never imagined possible. This has changed the lives of my husband and two daughters. I truly believe that I am living a miracle each and every day. Life can't get any better than this! ​
