I just today noticed that the double o's in Bloorview are made with the sign of infinity, perhaps signifying the infinite possibilities at Holland Bloorview. It is unfortunate I did not notice it in time for yesterdays post!
Lydia has had a quiet, peaceful day. She continues to love stretching out on the therapy mats, squiggling all over, grabbing her feet or legs, and of course, sitting up and lying down! She also enjoyed a book on Ladybugs today. We have been working to have her make a selection between two choices by either looking at the one she wants, or pointing to it. She chose the Ladybug book by looking at it. Perhaps she remembers that she is our Lydiebug!
At home, we have been working to convert our study into a main floor bedroom for Lydia. The piano and some bookcases and chairs have been moved out, and the window shades, and a door are on order. A quilted wall hanging with butterflies and flowers, made by a woman from our church and her sister, accents one wall. Lydia's dresser and night table have had a fun and stylish update, from close family friends. The words faith, hope, love and believe, now emblazon her furniture. The grade seven classes at Lydia's school all made butterflies, and they hang along another wall. The room is being transformed into a wonderful bedroom. With a bit more work, it should be completed this week.
We have another great song to share with you, Never Once, by Matt Redman. When we look back and see how far Lydia has come, we are grateful - not just for her progress, but for the comfort and assurance of God's presence with us. With joy our hearts can say, never once did we ever walk alone.

Never Once by Matt Redman
Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve doneKnowing every victory
Was Your power in us
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our ownYou are faithful, God, You are faithful
Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve doneKnowing every victory
Was Your power in us
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our ownYou are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can sayNever once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peaceNever once, no, we never walk alone
Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we’ll be breathing out Your praiseYou are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithfulYou are faithful, God, You are faithful
