Then and Now...

The top photo was taken last October (I'm guessing). . .walking was a very tenuous ordeal. As you can see she has a belt around her waist and a therapist anchoring her. We were so thrilled when she could take a few steps.

The photo below was taken at her 28th birthday party last Saturday. Doesn't she look beautiful!!! Congratulations Tami ! You are an inspiration!
