Today is our final day in St Louis, we haven't done that much as we did it all last year, but we did make to the shops and the Cheescake factory! We have had two sessions of physiotherapy that went really well and today we bumped into Mad Michael to the delight of Libby & Ben. It was strange being back in the therapy room this time not so anxious and feeling quite relaxed. I think this trip has given us all a boost, more exercises to do but nothing that we haven't tried already and Libby has moved on to another level - see the video. I can't believe what she has achieved in these last few days, purely down to her own determination, all we have to do now is improve her confidence and stamina and she's away - FANTASTIC, makes me feel very choked much to Libby's embarrassment!! We have met some lovely families and staff here at the Residence Inn and Libby & Ben have had a lovely time with all the children. We will look forward to meeting them, Dr Park & Mad Michael next year at the SDR party in March. I can't finish with the usual HUGE thank you to you all for getting us here and changing Libby's life forever. Lots of love Dave, Toni Libby & Ben xxxx P.S. I haven't mentioned Dave, so I thought I'd share this with you this will make you laugh..... Dave gets in the lift with 3 teenage girls all dressed in bikini's ready to go swimming and Dave says 'Oooh it must be my birthday' as the girls leave the lift he hears one of them stick her fingers in her mouth & pretend to throw up!!! He told me and said he was laughing on the outside but inside he was crying - how old did he feel? Letch!!!!!
