NAM Convention
Thank you everyone for the support at the NAM Convention! We were very successful for the first time promoting the website and the foundation! Thank you to Michelle Tahan for the beautiful banner! Also a thank you to the Ayoub Family for getting us the booth! Another thank you to the Boulos family, Tahan family, Serge Haddad, and Haddad Family who helped passed out flyers and wristbands!
At the Convention, I got interviewed for the first time by Noursat (Lebanese Catholic News Station). I was so nervous! I was told I would have to just sit and smile as the lady talked but instead she handed me the microphone! I was so terrified! My heart was beating as though I just ran a marthaton! But I am grateful I got the word out on TV! Hopefully I can find it and upload it to the blog.
I also met with the people assoicated with Lady of Mount Lebanon and the Order of Saint Sharbel. They plan on getting a group of donors together to become Angels. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Another thank you to all the priest and deacons who took the time to have a spiritual converstaion with me to help make my faith stronger and to bless me. These Priest and Deacons will be helping us out by promoting the foundation at their parishes.Thank you!
Also at the Convention, we sold "Help Jen Walk Again" wristbands for $5. It was very succussful espeically from all the help of my family and friends! If you are an Angel, you get a free wristband. If you would like to buy one please contact me (helpjenwalkagain@gmail.com)
We are still on the hunt for 100 Angels! I need your help! I would appreciate if every follower asked their friends and family to be an Angel. Please help promote the name!

Thank you everyone! And a quick update.
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to say hi and give a thank you to all my supporters, angels, and believers; without you guys, I wouldn't be able to have as much therapy as I do. You will never know how much your support has motivated me to keep fighting. I truly feel as though we are fighting together and that gives me strength. Your supportive emails and encouragement is with me everyday. You believing in me helps me believe in myself. I hope that one day I can meet with all of you soon so that I may thank you personally for all you have done. I am already planning an event in the near future and it would make me so happy to see you there.THANK YOU!
Also a quick update; I am getting stronger in my hips which is great since I am not suppose to have anything under the belly button! So I am able to lay on my side with my legs bent under me and I am able to slowly, but surely bring my leg to me (the right is stronger then the left). Even though gravity is helping me, it is still a start! I have a feeling that my right leg will return first since it is much stronger then the left. So that's the latest. Also my schedule has tripled in the amount of therapy. I personally enjoy this because it keeps me active. I think of it as work or school- something I have to do.
Mondays- Casa Colina 2-5 (and any doctor apt in the morning)
Tuesdays- Claremont Club 11-1 Casa Colina 2-5
Wednesdays- Casa Colina 10-11 Acupuncture 12-130 Project Walk 3-6
Thursdays- Claremont Club 11-1 Casa Colina 2-5
Fridays- Casa Colina 10-11 Acupuncture 12-130 Project Walk 3-6
Saturdays & Sundays- Church, family & friends time, working out in the garage, prepare for SAT
Also, I have my leg braces molding tomorrow(Monday) and hopefully they will be done soon!
Thank you everyone!!

Update!
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to give another quick update. I know it has been a while since the last one but I have been SUPER busy! I have therapy and school and just everything in between! I went to St. Lucy's Rose and Candle ceremony and was so happy I got to see all my friends! In therapy, they are working more on my hip control- Kristel said the reason I am getting my hips back the fastest is because I am Lebanese and we know how to dance right :). With more hip control, I will be able to learn to crawl, with assistance of course. They are working on my goal to stand alone but the issue is that I have a hypertension in my knees and the only to get rid of it is to strength my hamstrings (which I do not have control over yet). Jillienne also wants to try walking me (With the trainers doing the movement for me) soon. I can't wait! That is the first step!! I have also been doing the FES bike 3 times a week at Casa Colina for an hour before or after therapy to keep my muscle mass. I can not wait to walk. I know people have been like this for years, but I am not one of them. I need to walk!
The website is almost done! And I will let you know when it is up:)
God Bless!

A Quick Update
Hey everyone!
I just wanted to inform everyone that I will be attending the Saint Lucy's Priory High School's Musical on May 1st! So if anyone wants to come, COME! :D
My therapy is going great! My arms are sore though, but that's not going to stop me! Lately, I have been going to Casa Colina almost 5 times a week and Project Walk 2 to 3 times a week for 3 hours. I will also start Claremont Club in the summer and that will be at least 2 to 3 times a week for 2 hours. The main thing they are focusing on is to get the legs to wake up so I have some control over them. I have been walking with the leg braces and still waiting on the custom made ones. I have also set a new goal; to stand on my own with no assistance of any type by June 10. Right now, I can stand with a bar in front of me as well as a trainner holding my knees; if they let go, I fall. So I would like to work on strengthing my legs so I may stand on my own once again. After I accomplish that goal, the next will be to take my first step, again.
Thank you for all the support!
God bless you all!
Love always,
