Walking on Sunshine!!!!!

Again, we begin with a message written by Maddy for you.
"Today I got to ride around in a wheelchair. I went through the fish tunnel"

Maddy's is really tired this morning because she WALKED!!!! Not a few steps, but 124 feet!!!!! AMAZING!
Here is the video link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeGykpA1LKI
At this very moment she is off her vent on another sprint. The sprints are what they refer to as the time she is off her ventilator, but on oxygen. She had two, 2 hour sprints yesterday and she is starting today off in the right direction.

Currently, her sats are in the low 90's and we are very pleased with this.
Overall, she is doing remarkably well considering how damaged her lungs are. If you look at the x-ray's alone you would not think she was able to make the progress that she has. She's incredible!!!!

We thank you for your continued love, support, & prayers. We love all of your heartfelt messages and truly believe that it gives Maddy the inner strength to push harder to get well. Thank you. We would also like you to continue to keep another special person named Frida in your prayers. She is a 25 year old woman who is in ICU with the same condition as Maddy. We know how incredibly difficult this is and we send our prayer to her and her family.

Thank you to all of you. We can't imagine going through our days without having you in our lives. We thank you, Family!

Let's go out and Walk with our heads held high! Walk for Madelyn, Walk for everything thing that she has had to overcome, and the hurdles that await her. Walk with an extra pep in your step because you are thinking of Maddy!


**Now, for Maddy......

"When we last met, Betty Sue Moo had just body slammed the Whirlwind of Illness and was not looking as though she was ready to budge anytime soon. Kitty Girl Johnson was in great shape considering her opponent was down for the count! 1...2...3...4....

All of a sudden Whirlwind of Illness somehow kicked up his heels and booted ole' Betty Sue Moo right off of him. She bounced around that ring like a pin ball machine * Boing * Boing * Boucne * Boing * Poor Betty Sue Moo was making the worlds largest milkshake! This left poor Kitty Girl Johnson alone in her fight!

**VVvvvvRRRrOooooMMMmmmmm....VVRRoo000MMmmm......**</span> Oh. My. Goodness, Ladies & Gentlemen, It looks like a freaky cat on a freaky machine. VVvvRRrrooommmm......
It's Pins & Needles Penny with her razor sharp claws, perfect for inflicting pain onto the Whirlwind of Illness! Pins & Needles Penny Pops a wheelie and lands right onto of the Whirlwind of Illnesses big toe! Ouch! That's gotta hurt Ladies & Gentlemen!
Pins & Needles Penny jumps off her bike and pounces on the Whirlwind of Illnesses back.
PPpppppRRrrrr......PPPPrrrrrr....PPpPpppRRrrrrr......Pins & Needles Penny is going to town on the Whirlwind of Illness! PPPpprRRrrrr.....All I can see Ladies & Gentlemen are her little claws kneading up and down, up & down. PPppppRRrrrr......
Kitty Girl Johnson is able to walk right up to the Whirlwind of Illness, with her hands on her hips, and tell him this. " You are going down!!!! You are not going to beat me!!!! I'm going to continue to kick your butt and walk right out of this Sacred Heart Dome one of these days!!!!" ( the crowd explodes in applause! )

Just then! OH NO!!!!! I can't look! ( the crowd is on their feet once again with mouths gaping! )

What will happen next to Kitty Girl Johnson??!?!

*Stay tuned for the continued adventure.....
