I just got back from reviewing the results of Kahlia's ESD evaluation that was done last month. Signed all the paperwork, and we're ready to go as soon as I call them after coming home from the hospital. She is VERY behind for her age - even more so then I suspected. At the time of the evaluation, the test results indicated that she is anywhere from 8-13 months in her level of skill. She has A LOT of catching up to do, but they noticed even today a big improvement from where she was a month ago - so I am hoping she'll start catching up as soon as she starts therapy. Sadly, this month in the hospital will actually put her back even more, but the "catch up" should happen pretty quickly with a repaired heart that is functioning correctly and having ALL the oxygen that she needs - she's not going to know what to do with all of her new found energy! She's a mover and a shaker now! That's why I believe our little Kahlia is such a little fighter. Here is a beautiful picture of Kahlia taking a bath - she LOVES baths - splashing and playing in the water. I specifically wanted to take this picture showing her chest before there will always be a scar. The scar, however, will always be a reminder that it gave her LIFE.
That smile is PRICELESS! Thanks for sharing!
