Dear Marina fans,
Just a quick update to let you know that Marina is overcoming the weakness in her legs, and with two weeks of exercises and hard work, she is walking on her new feet with the help of a walker that Shriner's is letting us use until she walks on her own.
We are absolutely amazed at the progress she has made the past two weeks and she is really showing us all that she is not "crippled" as we were told so many times before!
Her therapist says that she will eventually dance, run and do whatever she wants to do on her prosthetic feet, and I have no doubt after seeing what she has accomplished already!
Marina will be going back into surgery on her mouth at the end of May to have the roof of her mouth repaired. This delays our return to Ukraine, but it also gives Marina more time for speech therapy and physical therapy before our return.
Thank you so much for your prayers and your emails. We appreciate you!
Rebecca
