5 months and Shriners visit

Braylee is doing absolutely amazing!! She has started to sit by herself for up to a couple minutes at a time! She rolled over from her back to tummy! Is lunging forward, just hitting all sorts of different milestones! She is learning to cup things with her hands to bring them up to her mouth! We couldn't be happier with her progress!

We started off the New Year with a visit to Shriners Hospital for Children in Salt Lake where they are going to be working on her hands and feet. This is our first consultation about her hands and feet so we are very glad to have a timeline and kind of a plan in order. We learned that they would like to straighten her thumbs and separate index fingers around 7-8 months of age, all depending on when her cleft gets done. So hopefully we can have that planned here soon!

Shriners has been great and they are a great organization that do amazing things for children and their families! We have some close friends that are Masons and you couldn't ask for better friends. We can't thank them enough for getting us set up with this organization!

We are getting closer to her surgery date and getting a little anxious but we know her doctors are amazing and she is a strong little girl that will rock this surgery! We are so very blessed to have her in our lives!
