Exciting news!!!!!! Keely decided lastnight that she wanted to roll over for the first time. After 17 months....it's about time!!! Every milestone that Keely overcomes is a MIRACLE in my eyes!!!! My eyes flooded with tears as she made her way to her belly. This is coming from a baby that used to cry when you put her on her belly. It amazes me that in 4 weeks the Therapists have her on another level. I am so thankful that we have the resources. I can't wait to see what she does next!!!!

Monday was a long, but exciting day for us as we departed at 5:30 am to take Keely for her 6 week check-up at the Pulmonary Clinic. The doctor says that Keely is doing GREAT and they want to wean her off the ventilator by an hour a day so that Keely is only on at bedtime. Currently she is off the ventilator 8 hours a day. Another exciting piece of info.....Keely can start learning to eat again after not being able to have anything for 11 months. It is going to be a challenge but with faith....she will get there. We have a GREAT group of speech therapist that are working with her. Also, she has gained some weight since her last weight check 2 weeks ago. She is now at 24lbs and 3oz. She is getting to be a "Chunky Monkey". As I look back on the past year, Keely has came a long way. All the healthcare providers cannot believe how far she has came. It was thought that she would never make it this far. All I can say is that I have a little fighter and a strong-willed little girl on my hands. Thanks to God and all the thoughts and prayers from friends and family. Without ya'll....We could not have gotten through ALL this. It has been 3 months since Keely's last hospitalization. Time sure does fly when things are going well.
