We have great news and we had to post this now. Betsy was at physical therapy today and look what she did!  See the YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW2yP5IAHBU.  This is encouraging way beyond what we expected. Betsy is pedaling an exercise bike forward and backward by herself.  We had no idea she had recovered this much by now.  This is a new level that opens up the ability for getting many more muscles activated and strengthened.   We want to really thank Gray, her trainer, at Roll to Walk (Betsy’s training facility in Austin), who knows how to identify beginnings of activity in muscles and trains her to focus and activate those muscles.  Her workouts in College Station over the semester are also paying off.  Thank you for praying for and encouraging Betsy.  She is really encouraged.  For a day to celebrate, Betsy’s picture today is another from her scuba diving over Spring break.  Time for some fun!
