End of summer updates

I noticed it had been awhile since I posted so wanted to give an update but not too much is new.

Dylann continues to go to twice a week physical therapy and is working very very hard to stand by herself and try to take some steps. She finally got her walker through insurance so we've been taking it to the mall and to daycare so she can work to get around on her own more and more.

She continues to see Angel which Dylann loves and asks to go to each week. "Mom can we see Angel to rub my back pease."  We spent a few months seeing a chiropractor as well to work on her back unevenness.

We've been working with the school district to get her on an IEP and she will start preschool mid November! It's twice a week for three hours in a regular classroom setting.

We go back to Philly Thursday 10/27 for check up, new braces, and X-rays. Dyl and I will be braving it alone but it'll be a short trip with a return flight Saturday.

We had our third annual Dylann's Dash event a few weeks ago and was the most successful yet! We raised about $7500 above the cost of the event and gave out two scholarships!! The weather almost caused some issues but right when folks started coming the sun came out and stayed the whole time. Magic Arms and AMCSI will be recipients of this money and next year I plan to hit 10,000 and add Shriners to our list!

Happy end of summer to everyone!
