We had so much fun watching Sydney, Christian and their therapists perform the “Word Up” routine today! Try watching this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXQ4loo7EBw

You may also want to check out the video on Christian's blog: ChristiansJourney1.blogspot.com

Christian is the other featured dancer; he is Sydney's friend in rehab recovering from a mountain biking accident. He went home on Saturday! Sydney's amazing Physical Therapist, Lance, is the guy with the big hair (he also chose the song and assigned Sydney and Christian to create the dance routine!) Josh, holding Christian's belt, is Syd's Occupational Therapist and he helped with the dance moves! Kris, short blonde hair, is the Recreational Therapist (she arranges fun outings for Syd like Halloween costume shopping!) Sarah, with short brown hair, is Syd's new friend and is a former rehab patient, recovering from a paragliding accident.

The video quality is not the greatest, as Tim was sitting so close he could either tape Sydney's and Christian's face or legs but not both!

Other activities on Friday:
Sydney walked around the entire floor with only 1 cane in 2 minutes and 26 seconds,
breaking the record she set with 2 canes! She is becoming a very good walker! She also walked around the entire floor once without any canes (Lance held her safety belt to help her balance).

We are really looking forward to having Sydney come home tomorrow for the overnighter. Remember to not visit her at the hospital on Saturday or Sunday as she won't be there! We will be going back to the hospital by Sunday evening, as the Young Ambassadors from BYU are coming to the hospital to sing to her and the other patients – which will be really enjoyable!

For those who live close, Sydney is looking forward to seeing you at church on Sunday!

Have fun at HOME Sydney. What a treat. I'm thrilled to hear that you and Christian are dancing together. It is a miracle and we could not be happier for both of you. Keep up your hard work! We are sending lots of prayers your way.

Where can we see this routine? I'd love to watch!

Sydney, it was so awesome seeing you walk into Church today, and also seeing you back conducting YW's. I loved seeing you back where you belong...with your family and all of us! I hope you weren't too wiped out after your day today...but even if you are I bet you're thinking it was worth it, aren't you?

Miss you tons, can't wait for you to be back permanently!

Love Sandy
