She's SEVEN !

We just wrapped up an amazing week celebrating our amazing Little Luella! It's hard to believe she is SEVEN!! She's actually not so "little" anymore! <sniff, sniff>

On Sunday - October 16th, Luella celebrated her birthday with her friends and a fun swimming party! The girls made a special beaded bracelet with a pretty silver sea charm to take home. We had strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting at the request of the birthday girl! Luella got many fun gifts. It was a super fun party topped off with about an hour of swimming! (Seizure-FREE swimming!!) Luella also got to bring a special treat to school on Wednesday (since there wasn't school Thurs or Fri). Then a trip to the farm to celebrate on Thursday and finally on Friday, October 21st - her ACTUAL birthday... supper at Pizza Ranch and then off to see the firemen's movie "The BFG"! Oh and the firemen let her climb up and honk the horn on the fire truck too!! It was an amazing week celebrating our amazing Luella!!

Luella has been on a roll again with seizure-free days.... we are currently counting at 52 days!! She is also doing great and walking all over the place without even using a walker anymore! We'll be checking in with her orthopedic doctor on Monday but we anticipate hearing that everything is healing up great. Hopefully getting to ride the bus to/from school again will be on the agenda this week too!!

I'll leave you with a few birthday week pictures... More pictures can be seen online here: https://goo.gl/photos/8rimWY1M5fvDF38H9
