►► Fast Forward A Bit...

So, fast forward a few years, add in a smorgasborg of therapies, doctors, alternative treatments and here we are today. We have a beautiful four year old, or "almost five year old" That is what Bailee says when you ask her old she is, holding up her little hand trying to open it all the way up.

We have done years of therapies including them all...physical, occupational, speech, hippotherapy, pool therapy, treadmill training...the list goes on. There has never been a moment when I have regretted any of it, or trying anything, or the rigorous schedule we have going three, four, five times a week to different therapies, every week for the last four years.

We have been to all the regular doctors for Bailee, plus pretty much any that end in "ologist". Add in multiple regular brain ultrasounds, MRIs, trips to UVA's Kluge Center, which we love, weight checks, and other routine things. We also did two rounds of hyperbarics at Charlotte Metro Hyperbarics, and most recently Bailee's first surgery, a bilateral de-rotational femoral osteotomy.

To say the least it has kept us busy. We definitely didn't expect to have this life, but have learned so many things from having a special little girl like Bailee. She is a wonderful child and is a blessing to be in our lives. She is always smiling, and always bringing a smile to others.
