Go Libby

This morning was great, Libby let me do her stretches with no pain or itchy feet, her plasters were coming off and leaving angry looking sore wounds but all dry and as they should be. We spoke to Nanny on MSN and Daddy too. I was a bit concerned (and I hope you are all looking after him at The Greyhound) but he mentioned that he’d been to the gym four mornings out of five – the only work out I’ve known Dave to do is working out where the bar is!! We then headed off down to the pool and how lovely to see Libby enjoying herself with Ben, something she loves doing and completely independently. It was quite a treat for Karl & me as we could sit and watch in the boiling sunshine. It finished off very nicely with Libby & Ben insisting that Uncle Karl got in the pool - which he did begrudgingly, only to jump out and lose his swimming shorts, giving the rest of the pool (full of yummy mummies) a full view of white bootie – as they say in the USA!!!! Therapy this afternoon was brilliant, Libby worked so hard, she did 2 minutes on the treadmill then rested, followed by another 3 minutes and rested again. She then set off on her walking frame and managed a whole circuit, which is 180 feet with only to rest stops. Her feet were great (a slight roll on her left foot, but that will be sorted when her splints arrive and she gets the support for her weak ankles). She continued with a workout on her quad muscles, you could see she was tired but didn’t give in – Uncle Karl was choked again just watching her sheer determination (which Libby thought was hilarious and asked him if he needed a tissue!!). We left therapy and went to the Science museum, which to be honest was rather dull and with Ben not being able to behave himself it was quite stressful! We had tea out and Ben managed to gain a point and half an hour on club penguin, only to lose it again when he refused to come off it when told. He is now in bed sobbing because he has been so naughty!!!
