This is how we do it in the U.S!

This week flew by! However, it was a great week. Stabilization of my hips and activation of my lower abdominal was the main focus of the week. Before I can stand I have to be able to hold myself  with my hips in the correct position for correct posture. The weeks workout consisted of lots of crunches and ab work followed by hero squats, weight bearing and workouts on the Total Gym. 

On another note, I'm starting to get my first tan ever!!! :) It's always sunny here in California. I'm starting learn my way around, however, there was a GPS purchased to aid in the process ;)

I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Lots of love to all!

Hero Squats

This Week

My first week at Project Walk was great! I absolutely love it here. I learned about muscles that do work and muscles that don't work yet but need to start working. Also, the circulation in my legs has improved greatly! Prayer points for this week: that my lower abdominal, gleuts, and back muscles would start working. These are some of the main muscles needed to stand and have good posture. Also, keep praying that the slight contractions in my upper abdominal, hip flexors, and adductors would get stronger and stronger in Jesus Name! Here are a few pictures from the week. Lots of love to all!

First Day!

Today was my first day at Project Walk and it was amazing. Already my body is starting to work. My obliques, middle abdominal, hip flexors, and adductors muscles were having slight contractions! Praise God! I know that the healing will begin to speed up as I continue pressing on. Thanks for all the prayers and keep em' coming. I'm going to post pictures of the first week later on. Lots of Love to all!

California

California weather is beautiful!! Jamie and I arrived safely on Tuesday. We are finished unpacking and everything looks great! I will start therapy on Monday. I am really, really excited! Our apartment is very accessible as is the rest of the city. I really believe this is a great place for healing! Now that all the unpacking is done we are going to relax and play today; to explore more about our new home! :) Please keep me in prayer next week as I begin therapy. I will be training from 11:00-1:00 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. More postings to come! Lots of Love to all.

Thanks!

Well, all the fundraising is over and it's getting closer to the time for me to move! The banquet was so awesome! Everyone had a blast! Thank you to the Friends of Jessica Duhon committee, Jennifer Salter, Carol Lewis, Kristi Normand, Adam Harthcock, Jessica Greenfield, and Jamie Duhon, for making the dinner a success. Thanks also to Jonathan Bowles, James Stockstill, and Llyod Henderson for their help! Special thanks to my family, my mom, dad, brothers, grandpa, grandmothers, and all others for your support! We raised way more than I expected which just proves that the Lord is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us! (Ephesians 3:20)

Jamie and I will be heading out to California on June 3rd and I am scheduled to start at Project Walk on June 9th. Im really loking foward to what the Lord is going to do while I am there! I will continue to keep everyone updated. Lots of love to all!
