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.

Applesauce is not so bad

It has been a struggle to get Kyra to take anything by mouth. It would usually take 20-30 minutes to get her to eat one-half teaspoon. But today she took applesauce without much resistance. I was actually able to get Kyra to eat 2-3 tsp in approx. 10 minutes. BIG PROGRESS! She even willingly opened her mouth a few times - no need to sneak the bites in. In the end she was all smiles.
