Easter, and an update on Sierra's health

OK, the results from the doctor's appointment are as follows:
Sierra's weight has plateaued, her lack of gaining weight is not from lack of food or calories, so it is completely out of my control. The doctor did agree that she does have a flat spot on her head, but that she does not qualify to be sent out of state to get the corrective helmet (No one in Oklahoma makes them anymore), so all we can do about this is keep her off of her head by not allowing her to lie down or sit in seats that support her head anymore, she has to primarily be on her tummy or sit in a Bumbo seat, along with her continuing and increasing physical therapy.
The doctor also believes that she may be suffering from a genetic disorder. They do not know what one, but we will be going to a geneticist to find out in about a month.

Now for the cute news. Easter was fun. The we all went up the weekend before to see my mom. The girls each got socks, small stuffed bunnies, and the cutest thing, sunglasses. They both like wearing their sunglasses, and did not remove them when we put them on, but have found that they do not like them when they are in their car seats.
On Easter, we took them over to my in laws for a visit, and when we got home I ran to the store to get them something for Easter. I came back 16" bunnies for each of them. They love them and would not let them go.

Well, got to get back to class. Have a good night all.

Sierra, I know that you have battled and won a lot of small battles as it is, but we will be there to help you continue fighting. You, Kaden, and Ava have taught us so much about life. You three are my heroes. I love you all.

Tabby.
