Amaya's powerpoint

   Like I mentioned in my last blog post, we recently celebrated two years since Amaya got her fixator put on and began her first limb lengthening (back on March 6, 2012). When we asked the girls how they wanted to celebrate they of course said with cake. But later when Josh asked Amaya if there was anything else she wanted to do to celebrate she said she wanted to talk about it with her class mates.
    Together Amaya and Josh began to work on how best to do that. Together they came up with the idea of a PowerPoint presentation so that she could show pictures of what it was like. She helped pick out pictures and decided what to say on each slide. She also decided to talk during throughout the presentation. Josh helped her type it and prepare it.
    It was neat seeing her work so hard to prepare it. I knew I couldn't miss such an amazing presentation so I made sure to take the time off from work.  Below are pictures of the slides and photos from the day.

Here's a little bit of Amaya's presentation. I think she did amazing!

Here are the slides from the presentation...

    Josh, Amaya and I took turns to help answer the questions from her class mates and her teacher. Together we explained how the lengthening process worked, what the toughest part was, how therapy worked, etc.. 

     Amaya did a great job! She was calm, poised, did a great job explaining things and answering questions. She was brave, mature and amazing! Thanks again for following along. We appreciate your love and support!
