Tuesday PM
Becca had a great day! She stood for the first time today. It was assisted, but she was able to stand on her legs. She couldn’t really feel her legs as they were in ‘space,’ but her body supported her.
She was also able to sit today for 90 minutes!
Becca also had her stitches removed from her lower back today. It’s been a busy day. We also found out that until she can sit for the duration of the flight, we can’t use Angel Flight. We need an aircraft that will accommodate her lying down. Angel Flight can only fly those that can sit in a chair. The doctors said her organs (lungs, heart, etc) are capable for flight so they will clear her. So, if anyone out there has a contact that could help, let me know. We are planning for now to continue therapy here, perhaps even start the treatment, then move her when she can sit for a long period of time. I know there is an air ambulance type system, but it’s a bit more that we would ever look at based on her need, which is not critical believe it or not 🙂
We are going to continue to work her, but that’s nothing new to Becca. She is a determined girl, so look out!
Thank you all again for your kind words and encouragement. We love you all and can still feel your strength. There is no way we could do this alone 🙂

You have a great support system no matter where you are, Randy. We know through your prayers and faithfulness, you will make the correct decision for both you and Becca plus the children. Will Southwest let you work out of Utah for a few months? Are you thinking about flying back and forth during the week and having Becca stay with her folks? Anyway, give all a kiss and hug!!! xxoo Auntie and Uncle Bryce
Randy and Becca,
Awesome news, Becca, that you were able to stand for the first time and sit for a longer period of time! By the way, Becca, your hair looks great!! You will remain in my prayers. Luv, Marci
