MK home for six months

Mary Kate has been home for six months now. I am not sure what she would say about the past six months, but it seems that she is right at home with us. She is crazy about "Ack" and "LeLe" and loves to dance, play, sing and follow her older siblings all over the house. Her speech has come along beautifully, with some help from a our speech therapist, Lindy. She is unable to suck or drink from a straw and is still leaking certain foods from her nose, which we recently learned from her oral surgeon is a result from an opening in her palate, called a fistula. There is a chance that it could close by itself, but if not, she will have it repaired next year. We see her orthopedic surgeon in 2 days and are praying that she is growing bone in the femoral head of her repaired hip. She is walking well, with a slight limp, but much improved from before her hip surgery. She is a happy and sweet toddler who is adored by many! Thanks for your support and interest in our family. Love, Marni
