Moving OUT!

Well, it has been an exciting day today & yet it's being an emotional day too!
My phone once again is having memory issues, so sorry, no pictures for now. Hopefully we can get it worked out at home & get some on.
When we first came into Rehab, the nurse told me how they have kids come in that don't do ANYTHING & leave walking & talking. While that is what I hoped for, I was willing that she at least do SOMETHING!
I can't even type it without sobbing, but Callie WILL leave walking & talking. Yes, she still has more progress to make to get back, but she has come so much farther than many thought she would.
We just happen to see her Neuro Surgeon this morning, when he saw Callie, he said, "That's HER!", WOW, She is a Miracle!" Coming from the one here that had the most detailed information of just what Callie's injury, I don't think it could be said any better & I don't think that ANYONE will put up an argument on the subject. I am so overwhelmed by the MASSIVE outpouring of Blessings, Love & Service!!!

Thank You EVERYONE!!! & God Bless Us ALL EVERYONE!!!

Jeff, Dana, CALLIE & The Rest of the Butler Family

  5. I found your blog about your adorable daughter from the kissesforcallie website. The progress your daughter has made is nothing short of a miracle. Especially the progress she has made in just a few months. I too have a daughter who received a traumatic brain injury at 16 months old when she pulled down a dresser and TV on top of herself. She too had (still has) a blood clot in her brain as well as skull fractures, and spent 2 weeks in a coma. As I read a little bit of your story, I was reminded of our experience with her and her long but steady road to recovery. She is now 4 and you would never even know anything ever happened. I realize that every brain injury affects everyone differently, but having been down that road before I must say that your sweet daughter's future is so bright. Lots of prayers are headed your way. I know they work and I have proof in my 4 year old daughter, and I know you have proof as well in your miracle baby.
