Yes! Today, January 11th is a great day. Courtney walked 3 separate times today.
Alex and Maura, pts, came in to work with Courtney today. As soon as they had Courtney sitting at the edge of the bed Alex said, "it looks like she wants to take some steps - let's see if she'll do it." So they got Courtney to her feet and she walked 10 feet to the door. Then she sat down, Claudia ran to get Craig and she did it all over again - this time about 12 feet out the door and around the corner. Finally, Courtney sat back in the wheelchair, took a break and then walked out of the room and down the hallway past the nurses station. That's a distance of about 30 feet!!!
It was an amazing moment for all of us. All the staff came out to the hall to watch Courtney walking - other patients' visitors watched knowing that they were seeing a big event. Of course we were crying happy tears!
Every day is an amazing miracle but Sunday January 11th will forever be a day of celebration in the Hollingworth family!!!

New name for Courtney - We are going to call her Amazing Courtney!!! We are so so happy for you all. As soon as Frank received Craig's text he called me to tell me the good news. The kids were thrilled and Ken came running over to tell us as well. The prayers continue for even more miraculous events.

WOW. YOu can't miss a day of updates without Courtney just leaping a new hurdle which with the way she is walking can hurdling be far behind.
This is such great news. Diane you and Craig have provided such great support. It goes to show what a difference it makes when people don't give up on you.
Continue to work and pray and I am sure Courtney will continue to amaze you and everyone else following her progress.
