Forget Tiny Steps, Kenzie Shoots for the Moon

My badass little sister now goes to school on Mondays and Wednesdays! How awesome is that?! This blog will be all things Kenzie.

Quote from my rad father:

"We are glad she finally made it back to school. We think it will do her alot of good with all the old familiar sights and sounds of the class rooms and the hall ways. You know when we were in the hospital and the Extended Care Center we had nurses, cna's and other people tell us the same thing about alot of people wouldn't do what we are doing. I think it's probably true but I think you would be surprised at seeing your child laying there all broken and she still has the fight and the will to live you don't want to give up on that and we never even once thought about on giving up on her. You learn alot about yourself in a situation like this."

Quotes from my awesome cousin Katie:

"I read every day of people's thankfulness and how awful life can be. The last few months have been a test on me emotionally and physically. But every day I am thankful for all the love, prayers, and help from strangers, family, friends, medical staff and everyone else who has helped my family over the last year and a half. Today my lovely cousin Kenzie got to attend school again, something I didn't think was possible a year ago. It makes me greatly thankful for the joys of being able to live my life even if I have bumps in the road."My family is amazing.Kenzie wears a Passy-Muir during the day sometimes. Click here for more information on that. But there is a video on my Facebook where she is wearing it and you can hear her voice and it sounds exactly like it did before the accident. I tried to put it here but it wouldn't work.


Kenzie looked so much like her old self last night!

We are only 3 days into this week and she's done so many cool things. We have a lot to be thankful for tomorrow and every other day of the year.
