We're Home
Thursday, September 13, 2007
Well I know that there are many of you whom thought I dropped
off the face of the planet, alas that is not the case. I have
had many challenges since coming home with our little angel.
Sienna is allergic to milk, therefore the nutrition she was
receiving in China aggravated a condition she inherited. She has
very bad eczema. I have come to understand what you see on the
skin is only a small representation of the irritation that she
has suffered internally. She is on a hypoallergenic formula,
Rx's, and several vitamins, for her skin condition. She was
absorbing very little nutrition, because of the irritations
internally.
Fast forward 7 weeks today and our little ladybug is doing
wonderful. She is crawling like she is off for a race. She is
pulling to a stand. She can sit up for a very long time now and
rolls over on both sides. She is in physical therapy once a
week. This week will be her third lesson. She has started swim
lessons and loves the water. She still doesn't know how to blow
bubbles, but has no problem having her head under the water. She
leans off the side of the pool to my arms. Sienna has gained 1.5
pounds after having lost almost 1.75 pounds.
We are so in awe of this little girls ability to thrive. She
takes on every challenge with determination. She has a very
funny sense of humor and wants to try anything daring. She loves
the swings and slides at the playground.
Her Grandparents from Wilmington are here with us right now and
we are having the time of our lives playing everyday.
Grandpa Jack wrote a very special story for Sienna. She has a
special friend named Sparkle. He is a dragon who accompanied her
from China. Sparkle is her protector and confidant. He has many
adventures with numerous friends. We read from this book often
and tell of things that might be included in upcoming new
adventures.
Coming soon will be some wonderful new pictures to bring you up to the
present with lightning speed. She is changing so quickly I
wanted to share with all of our dear family and friends. Sienna
has made remarkable strides in catching up to her chronological
age. |
