One year ago today...



Ali came home from a 9 month hospital stay that included a trip to CA for an open heart surgery. We can't believe how Ali has grown in the past year! She is getting so strong - crawling everywhere, climbing the stairs, pulling to stand, walking with assistance, and off the vent for 4 hours a day! I am working on a video of Ali on the move. Can't wait to share it with you!

Ali's 4th Birthday

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY ALI!

We are so happy that Ali was able to celebrate her 4th birthday! It was just a year ago that she had returned home from CA after yet another heart surgery and was admited into Children's Rehab. Ali has gotten so strong this past year and although still on the vent she is very busy moving around, it doesn't hold her back! Ali really enjoys going to school and playing with her peers. We didn't know what the year would bring after we returned home from CA - but we are so happy that Ali is such a fighter and was able to overcome her infections and recover from heart surgery. Check out all the latest pictures HERE.

Here are a few pictures of Ali on her birthday since her birth.
