Upcoming "Events"

The Ronald McDonald House was our home away from home while Courtney was at RIH.

To honor their hospitality and Courtney's miraculous recovery we are organizing
TEAM COURTNEY for the Annual Ronald McDonald House Walkathon
The walk takes place Sunday May 3rd

You can register to walk on Courtney's team online or by posting a comment here. We will supply all walkers with Courtney T-shirts (pink of course!)

If you can't walk but would like to donate go to : www.firstgiving.com/dianehollingworth

More information will be posted soon but don't delay - SIGN UP NOW!

Also, there will be a Mass of Thanksgiving for Courtney's healing at LaSalle Academy in Providence on Thursday April 23rd 7pm. Fr. Al Kenney will celebrate the mass. We look forward to seeing many many people there to help thank God for his grace.

Mom's Update

Courtney is working very hard to improve in all areas. She works 6 days a week doing Math and Reading to improve visual processing skills and comprehension of detail.

Courtney does all kinds of Math and is now reading articles about political science (her previous major at school).

Physical therapy has also advanced and soon we will post pictures of the challenging exercises Courtney is doing during therapy.

In addition to scheduling her day Courtney organizes her school work, and everything she needs for the day. This is great progress and shows Courtney's executive functions are improving.

Testing shows that Courtney is at appropriate grade level in many areas and has given us good information on what she can focus on as she works to get back to school.

Courtney has always been a very hard worker and she remains so today. We have to remind her about the severity of her injury and how far she has come. We remind her to rest and not push herself to hard.

We pray for God's grace, patience and faith as Courtney continues to improve.
