Update March 4, 2008--Status Report of Hyperbaric Treatments

Dear Praying Friends,

Even though February is the shortest month of the year, it seemed like a long month for my mother and R: they spent their time driving to San Antonio and back. Both of them also managed to get the flu that's been hitting all over the country.

Sierra Rose, now 5 1/2 months old, has had 19 hyperbaric treatments; she is scheduled to receive 21 more treatments. Even though there was no guarantee that hyperbaric therapy would be beneficial, we are happy to report small improvements. Here are our observations:

1. Sierra's arm muscles are not as tight as they were before.
2. Sierra has better head control. It's still not perfect, but she can lift her head and turn it from side to side.
3. Sierra, when she was put face down on a blanket this past week, began lifting her head and chest off the floor.
4. Sierra can slowly but surely crawl a few feet across a blanket placed on the floor.

Prayer:
-Safe travel for all the trips to San Antonio and back home again
-Continued progress in Sierra's development
-Health for all the family

Praise:
-Safe travel for all the trips to San Antonio and back home again
-Continued progress in Sierra's development
-God's provision in numerous ways

Thanks for all your love and support. We are blessed to have you as our friends.

--MK for the family
