1 Year +339.
Despite today being hard, progress was made. Tate was able to sit up, put real clothes on and was able to walk about 10 steps to the bathroom. Morphine and surgery messes with all the systems. We need everything to start working again. The magic behind the positives today was dog support. The first smiles I’ve seen since before surgery came due to the dogs being here to support Tate. Of course, it’s really the amazing handlers behind the dogs that are truly the hero’s. We are grateful! I’m fairly certain much of what needed to happen today either wouldn’t have or would’ve been SO much more difficult without the sweet pups.
Tate received balloons and flowers and a squishmallow blanket which all brought some more smiles. Thank you for supporting her in all the ways! With favorite things, prayers and words of encouragement. We are so grateful for them all! The pictures capture all those good moments today. We’re hoping to leave all the tough stuff behind tomorrow.
