The hip sockets are deepening and the balls on the top of her femur
bones, that connect to the hip, have finally formed. That is all very
good news. She has to remain in the harness for at least another 3
months, we are not sure how much longer before she gets it off, again
it all depends on how quickly it all forms properly, but she is looking
good…her little personality is coming out more and more each day. She
has a really funny sense of humor and LOVES to dance to any music she
hears! It’s an adorable sight to see! Also, her hypothyroidism is
completely under control with her medication and all of her brain and
physical development, other than her hips, are perfect. We took her to
an Audiologist at UCLA, and her hearing was perfect, as well as an
Opthamologist and her eyes were perfect as well, thanks to Nana’s
connections at UCLA. She has hit some major milestones this last month
as she can now completely sit up on her own, go from laying down to
sitting up all by herself, she crawls now in her own cute way, and
rolls from back to front, and front to back perfectly, all in her
harness! It is amazing how determined her little spirit is…she is
also balancing on her feet in the squat position, so we’ll see if she
figures out how to walk in it. She is also now finally sleeping through
the night, so mommy is enjoying her sleep again.

Also, thanks for your prayers, those who knew, about Matt’s Melanoma on
his arm…we got the final biopsy back and he is in the clear, so no
more skin cancer for him, at least for now. He now has to be extremely
careful in the sun, and really avoid it as much as possible, so not to
get another one. He now sees his Dermatologist every 3 months for a
check…needless to say we have all taken a new found interest on the
dangers of the rays of the sun, and so now all of us in our family have
a new perspective on being extremely careful! Thanks to sunscreen and
the must have ingredients, sunhats, and UV clothing!! God has been so
gracious to our family, and its amazing how his grace shines through
every single challenge that comes our way, and as we embrace and accept
each one, we see God and his blessings more and more.

We love you all and ask for your continued prayers for our family.

Thanks,

Brooke
