Being totally unrealistic and loving it!
In Riley's weekly life of doctor appointments and therapy sessions we work with a lot of "goals". We focus our sessions and daily exercises around working toward these lists of achievements & hopes we have set for her physical strength and health. This is one area where I drive Riley's specialists nuts because I am always pushing for beyond what they call "realistic". When Riley was 5 months old I had a meeting with 4 therapists/specialists to lay out some goals and a plan of action for the next few years of Riley's physical therapy. When discussing realistic long term goals I said "to sit up unassited for 5 minutes" and I was sweetly told that sitting up on her own by the age of 3 could be somewhat of an unrealistic goal. Well, today during her physical therapy session Riley sat up on her own and played catch with me today for a full 10 minutes! This is just one more example to add to the ever growing list of things in Riley's life that prove nothing is "unrealistic" for our God.

My husband and I briefly met your husband at the Motion Conf. this past July. We sat in on his session, teaching youth about giving their testimony. Every since I heard your family's testimony, I have thought of you daily. We have 4 kids, the younger 2 being a little over a year apart. It has kept me from doing many things with my husband as far as ministry is concerned. But when I struggle, I think of you and think of how you have way more of a dedication to taking care of Riley. You are an inspiration and a true example of God's love, grace, and healing! I was so happy to read about Riley sitting up and playing for 10 minutes!!! What an achievement! I'm so happy for you all.
