Iliana has learned how to get off the couch correctly. Scroll down to see...











Since I couldn't add a video, I had to add all these pictures for you to see how well she is doing. I promise to try and keep you updated as she continues to learn to do new things.

Check out my baby girl!


She was cheering for Reece during his baseball game.

Looking good, right?

Iliana is getting better with her balance. She still will fall, but is able to hold on and stay standing for minutes at a time. She was really tired when i took this picture but she stood for about 5 min all by herself.

She is having some small seizures, about 2-3 a week since she was taken off the Phenobarb, but they have not needed any medical attention. She is laughing a lot, just like she used to before she turned into a zombie due to her meds. She cries more too. I feel like my baby girl who was gone for the last year and a half is back. I've sometimes even thought that she grabs my neck to hug me and that she recognizes me and maybe even has cried for me to hold her. Maybe one day she might even call me mama. I don't know, but I'd like to think so. She has a lot of catching up to do, but with steady baby steps, I believe she could achieve the impossible.

I finally have some new pictures.

All of the children. Iliana is looking like a big girl. She grabbed her baby sister's hand in one picture, but her brother has his finger on his nose, I decided to show this one instead.


She is getting stronger and improving her balance. In the picture following this one, you can see she is turning towards the couch, she didn't fall over when attempting this.



Giving her baby sister a big hug and kiss. Mia liked it!


Iliana is doing well. Her reaction, physical and visual, is improving. She was noticing shadows on the wall yesterday. She can notice people walking into a room not just when they are near her. We are hoping to begin physical therapy sessions at home again this month. Our prayer requests are that she will be able to begin therapy soon and that she will continue improving.
