Some new videos of our little munchkin. She is getting to have a little attitude and getting naughty! :) Not yet crawling, she some how figures out how to get into everything that she is NOT supposed to! She is quickly learning the word NO and understanding if we slap (well tap) her hand that it is not a good thing...which she immediately makes us feel bad about by sobbing her way out of trouble. I think my day now consists of pulling her away from momma's pretties sitting down to work and having to do it again.

In other news...2 weekends ago when we visited Justin's sister, we heard some sad news. They thought that Kathy was going to be considered 'not hospital material' and would eventually have to be placed in a nursing home for at least 6 months. Well, our prayers continued to be answered and Kathy blessed! This last Saturday, she made HUGE strides. She joined therapy, walked, ate, spoke and went the the bathroom! The doctors were amazed and said she progressed 3 weeks in 1 day! What a true miracle!!!!! She is now in her own room in the Rehab area of the hospital. Best news of all...she has nothing hooked to her anymore. Her feeding tube, catheder and monitors are all gone. She is getting back to Kathy. Our visit this past weekend was so exciting. We were able to talk to her, laugh and joke. AND she knew us right away. Truly amazing. We are so blessed and truly believe that God is working through her!!!!

Passing OT


A few weeks ago, we checked Kamalee's OT skills with her age during a session. She was right on expect for one skill. She wasn't into 'releasing'. Meaning she didn't want to give up her toys :) Well just a few days after that she started giving me her toys. As she has proven in the past she doesn't like to be told what she can and can't do. She does awesome at putting her blocks in the box and taking them out! Which puts her at a normal 14 month skill level for OT. GO KAM!

Blowing Kisses

Kamalee's newest learned talent! It is so cute. She does this when we ask her to blow kisses or when we are saying goodbye.

Kathy Ann

We went to the hospital yesterday to visit Justin's sister and I just wanted to give a little update on her progress. When we first arrived there was people in there so the nurse told her "your brother is here." which she responded with a smile! She was happy to have familiar faces and she squeezed one of our hands the entire visit. It is going to be a long road of therapy and re-learning all of her skills but she is strong and on her way. She is very active and constantly trying to get out of bed. Justin scolder her telling her to stay in bed and she had a very Kathy like response...she stuck her tongue out! SO funny. She looks so much like herself again. We are glad to see that. She also responded to some of our questions by nodding her head and waved and blew kisses to Kamalee when Kamalee did the same. She tried talking to us but she has a treck in so wasn't able to. We asked if she was trying to talk and she nodded yes so we explained she couldn't right now, but soon. They have her in CCU but she doesn't need to be. They are waiting for a room to open up in the new department she is to go to. Hopefully monday she will have a bigger room and be out of the CCU. Hooray for that!
