Proud Mom just has to brag a minute. As many of you know I have 2 girls with Spina Bifida, the oldest one is going into high school this year as a 9th grader. She is a L1-L2 for those of you that know what that means for those that dont it means she is paralyzed from about inch on the top of the thigh all the way down. So no use of her legs.
Well, here is my proud moment she made the Girls Varsity Swim Team at her new high school. She is of course the only one in a wheelchair on the team and in fact even shocked the other girls when she went to the first practice that she could even swim. Since she will be the only disabled swimmer she will mostly swim against a time set by the coach. Even though she has been competing in track, field and swimming in wheelchair games this is the first time she has competed with able bodied.
