Our little angel



Kaitlyn had her first physical therapy evaluation last week. The 2 hour session was very educational. We watched Kaitlyn play with the doctor doing very specific tasks. Everything from picking raw beans out of bowl, pulling a string, to trying to color with marker. After the assessment, her 1 hour/week sessions will target her weaker areas and help her gain more muscle tone. We hope she'll be walking before too long. The PT said her outlook was especially good since her seizures are under control. We're still seizure free since Feb 14, 2008!

Monday, April 21st, Kaitlyn has surgery to remove the dermoid cyst above her left eye. After a checkup, the doctor noticed that it had grown and decided it would be safest to have it removed. The 2 hour surgery went perfect. Kaitlyn did well with anesthesia. Once we were home, she played nonstop! It's true - children are resilient! She has a little black eye and 9 stitches. The amazing thing is -she has no clue. She has yet to even touch it or seem bothered by it. She amazes us! She reminds us that there are things not worth worrying about.
