This is a short video clip of Emily on parallel bars at her school playground. You see, the reason this video is so special and exciting is because this is something that I did not think Emily could do. With her surgery, the idea of her being able to lift her legs over the bars seemed really hard. At school she would see her friends playing on this and how badly Emily wanted to join in. So Emily asked if we could walk to her school where she could "give it a try". So I said sure. I also told her to just give it her best shot but not to get discouraged. After about 10-15 minutes, she was able to DO IT!!! Oh Emily was so happy!
Then she practiced and practiced for the next 56 - 60 minutes until she got blisters on her hand!
Now she is able to do this and enjoys playing with her friends at school!!
Way to go, Emily!!!!
