HE STANDS & HE WALKS!!!!

NOT ONLY DOES HE STAND BUT HE ACTUALLY WALKS. SEVERAL TIMES!!!

I swear to you it was like a miracle happening before my eyes! He stood with little help and walked the full length of the parallel bars and back again. Diana had him do that several times. Absolutely amazing to witness. He said that it didn't really hurt but sure was hard and made him really tired. That will be a morning routine from now until we head for home. They will do strengthening workouts in the afternoons.

Needless to say he is taking a much deserved nap right now before they come back to get him for MORE.

I took some video clips and am hoping to figure out how to post them to the blog so I can share this awesome event with all of you. How I wish you could have been here to see it.

It's another beautiful day in Denver. There is still snow on the ground but it is bright and sunny with beautiful blue skies.

Thank you all for being part of our miracle. We love you! The Mellon's



I received this from a friend today (Thank you Nita) and thought it was fitting.

Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.?

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.???

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize. ???

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.???

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do? The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier? The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones?who care. Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
