Kyra's Miracle

This is the story of our daughter, Kyra, born April 2008 with multi-intestinal atresia (several areas of blockage throughout her intestine.) Her journey began with 9cm of viable intestine and an amazing determination for life. This blog is to honor Kyra's spirit and to share her beautiful smile with family and friends. As you watch Kyra grow and thrive inspite of overwhelming odds, it is our hope that Kyra's journey will inspire everyone to continue to believe in miracles.

Here are some moments in Kyra's life this week....
