Title: AMAZING AND EXCITING NEWS!
Post by: lauralynn on August 31, 2009, 12:36:01 pm
Hello my AN family.  I have amazing news to share with you!  I take pictures of my self once a week to compare my face from week to week.  Well last night after taking the pictures and thinking to myself how much I miss my smile, I practiced a closed smile in the mirror.  I couldn't believe what I saw!  The left corner of my mouth moved just a tiny bit, but it moved!  I called my kids in and they could see it too!  So exciting!  Great news huh?  Had to tell you all!

Love,
Laura Lynn  :)

Thank you all so much for all of your sweet and encouraging words.  I've noticed a little improvement since I noticed the first movement.  I know it will continue to progress as long as I continue my exercises.  My next big step is I'm preparing to go back to work.  I've been out over 4 months.  My energy level is still pretty low but I need the money.  I'm hoping my strength will come back so I can handle a 40 hour work week.  I'll of course keep you posted on that.  I plan on going back beginning of Oct.

Love,
Laura Lynn

WOW!  You are lucky that you have been able to stay away from work that long!  I had to go back at 3 months and that was teaching 1st grade - pretty hands on and physical!  I came home & slept everyday until it was time to get up the next morning!

I know you will do great!
