Spring 2012

As predicted and hoped, Gemma started to clear up during the Spring months.  We were overjoyed to finally have our little girl getting back to 'normal'.  We couldn't believe what a difficult Winter she had gone through, primarily because of not being prepared for what a simple cold could do. 

Gemma's chest cleared up and it was good to see her oxygen saturation improve. It is such a relief to have your child get well when they are sick for months and you realize how fragile they can be and how easily you can take things for granted.

She has been busy being her silly little self, she is becoming more independent, learning new toys, looking at books herself and starting to figure out puzzles.  Gemma is continuing to gain strength in her lower limbs, since the casts came off for her heel releases she has showed drastic improvement in anti-gravity movement.  The weight of the casts must have allowed Gemma to gain muscle strength... either that or they implanted magnets in her heels!  Her legs are making up for lost time by constantly being up in the air!

With the warmer weather we are taking Gemma out for walks and it is nice to see her garden growing, a place we will enjoy in the Summer.
