Happy Birthday Kyra - Wow 2 Years Old!

Well it is official Kyra is 2! This past week she crawled twice on her own, quickly recovering into a sit once she realized we were watching her. I guess she wants to keep this a big secret. Kyra also pulled herself up to her feet at the ballet bar yesterday. AND the true test that she is 2 - Kyra drew a masterpiece on the wall - so proud saying "Did this - BLUE"


It hardly seems possible that it has been two years already. This tough little girl has blossomed in so many ways. She has become "Miss Manners" using her "pease" and "t-ank you" All day today she was saying "t-ank" you to everyone for all her gifts. And early this morning she tossed Nurse Becky a toy and told Becky "welcome." Kyra got a surpise this morning with a BIG, BIG birthday cake from Becky's husband, Jason. He made this amazing Mickey Mouse Club House 3-D Cake. Thank you Jason and Becky. We managed to get some icing on her lips and she announced "Mickey!" She loves her Mickey Mouse.

This week has been a bit emotional for me. My heart has been filled with happiness and excitement reaching this milestone. Early this week I had an opportunity to visit with Dr. Marita D'Netto and speak with a few nurses from the NICU. I have also become more aware of the friendships (actually family relationships) created with our home health nurses, Becky, Barb, Kris and Diane. All of these individuals have forever changed our lives. So today marks a birthday for Kyra but it also marks a "win" for all those who have been a part of her progress. I can only hope that each one of you understand that they are so much apart of our family smiles, not just today but everyday. Everything you have done, everything you have given, and everything your dedicate yourself to MATTERS!

Our friends and family have been remarkable and a great source of strength. Someone once asked me "How do you do it?" My answer was "anyone can do this just as long as they have OUR family and OUR friends behind them." We have an amazing support system.

Today I recieved a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my sister with a card that read: "Miracles happen for those who have the strength to believe." So true, Thanks Cher!
