It's Getting Closer!

Soon we will be heading to California for treatment for Sienna. There is still so much to do and barely enough funds to cover treatment. However I have faith things will come together in time.
I will be posting a video soon sort of showing her mobility and hopefully a very different video will be made in a few months. :-)

I am making lists and checking them twice. Meanwhile trying not to breakdown emotionally as I have not yet allowed myself to truly do since this all began five short months ago.

Sienna is just her sweet, precious self hanging out with mom as she shops, stresses, and plans.
I don't know too many babies who can handle a six hour stay at a benefit car wash without complaint but Sienna is one of them....

My friends have been truly amazing selflessly giving their time, money, and energy to this wonderful little girl and I am very appreciative. I have to say my faith in humanity has been restored through all of this and my perspective has changed on many things. <3

Here's how you can help!

Here is the Donation Site to get Sienna the therapy she needs. Cerebral Palsy is one thing but the Microcephaly is concerning and the hyperbaric therapy will definitely help her! Anything helps! Thank you so much everyone!

Staying strong..

Here is a video I made for Miss Sienna.

It has been very hard for me lately watching her struggle in therapy to do basic things that I always took for granted...

I think parents in general take their perfectly healthy walking talking running children for granted. Up until now, I am positive I have done this with my older two. It isn't even so much not appreciating all they are capable of and who they are, it is just something you don't think about until you watch a child struggle so much. It has been breaking my heart lately. Yes. She is making slow progress, but is still operating at an 11-12 month old level physically and possibly as low as 10-11 months cognitively. She is 20 months old now....( alittle over 1 and a 1/2 for those who hate the months thing )

Anyway...

I will be strong for her because she is very happy and very capable and so wonderful no matter what her issues are and I will always do everything I can to help her reach any goal she ever has.

I can't wait to start the hyperbaric therapy and continue to work with her. I know diligence will dramatically improve her condition.
