Hello everyone! I know its been quite a while since I've updated this blog about Sarah. Quite frankly, not much has happened since then. Sarah and I returned from our long trip in October. She had quite a blast with all the traveling that we did (and was a very good girl during the flights). We came home and settled right back into the routine of therapy and school. However, we have decided to have Sarah return sometime in March for another stem cell treatment in Mexico. Sarah's verbal skills are picking up (she's starting to get better at attempting to mimic some words we say) as well as some of her fine motor skills. Using an adaptive spoon and fork, Sarah is now able to eat with about 75% independence (she still does need a bit of help). The trip to Mexico has not been exactly set as I am still pregnant with Sarah's baby brother. We will have to wait until he is born so that we can time our travel date (since we'd have to rush a passport for him). Luckily, the hospital knows this and the doctors have mentioned that anytime in March should be good to bring Sarah in.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays (and the extra time off work/school).
