Savannah is WALKING!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

I don't post very much at all, but i do enjoy your comments. over the

course of the last few weeks, actually more the last one week. my

little girl has started to walk. for those of you that may think

walking??? no big deal.

well not so long ago, i was the mom who was drowning in dr. appts, not

knowing if i could hold on any longer. i was mother of two babies

essentially, they are 22 months apart, but big sis is at the same

stage as little sis so they may as well be twins, no family, no

friends that REALLY knew what i was going through, and i just didn't

know what i was going to do. savannah (rss) wouldn't eat, drink,

crawl, talk.... NOTHING

but now she is 3.5 years old. about 32 inches tall and about 22

pounds.!!!!!! there is an end (or an " easy " period) to those who are

patient and just put their trust in God. Savannah is eating all by

herself. we had a G tube for 3 years and an NG before that, and she

had not eaten on her own at all until the last 8 months. she has

really taken off at eating and she is talking (not sure what she is

saying) but she is jabbering sentences and putting two words

together. she eats like a horse!!!!! her sister (no rss) eats WAY less

than she does. it is just incredible and remarkable the past few

months have been in her development.

but the GREATEST accomplishment of all is that she is WALKING!!!!!! at

3.5 years old, i thought that i would honestly NEVER see the day. now

she has a walker mind you and she walks VERY well with it, but the

walking that i am talking about is INDEPENDENT of her walker. she will

take up to 15 steps at a time!!!!! it is really amazing. i am so glad

for her. it will open up so many opportunities for her to learn and to

grow.

all the ot pt speech and many visits to the dr are finally paying off

(for now). anyhow thanks for letting me share the accomplishments that

savannah has made.

for all those who are struggling, remember there is someone greater

than you that will give you help and strength to endure just one more

day, but you have to ask Him to help you.

good luck to you all
