Iliana is being fitted with her new braces in this picture. She was able to get them this past Friday. At first, she wouldn't even take a step with them. She would only raise one foot and then bring it back down again, as if to tell me to take them off. It took her some time, but now she does ok with them, we just need to find some bigger shoes that will fit when she has her braces on. She is supposed to wear them all day, except when napping.

Her first time in a rocking chair outside of Cracker Barrel. She sat like a big girl would.

You can see she was enjoying doing things her big sister can.

Iliana has begun her physical therapy sessions at home again. We are blessed to be able to have Stephanie working with her again. I'm looking forward to what Iliana will do in the near future. I would also like to say that Iliana fell out of her crib yesterday. YEAH!! My excitement may come as a surprise to many, so let me first say that Iliana was fine. She complained to me a bit, but was not hurt. You also have to understand that Iliana's crib has been in the highest position possible since she was born. In the past 2 and a half years, there has been no need to reposition her mattress. She wasn't doing anything that would make her fall out. She has finally done it and we thank God for it. Of course, it will now be moved. I do not wish for her to fall out again. Please pray for her time of therapy. Both the therapy for her physical development and the one for her cognitive skills development. She receives one hour a week for each. Please pray for her therapists, Stephanie and Jean, that God would guide their teaching and would reveal to them the path that they should take when teaching her. Please pray the same for Dwight and I. That He would send forth His light and His truth to guide all of those involved in her care.
