Today Sierra turned 6 months old!
Hyperbaric
Sierra had her 30th hyperbaric treatment. She has been doing very well and we have seen great improvements from the treatments. Last week she did something that really got us excited. She rolled over from her back unto her belly!
We made some new friends at the hyperbaric place. There is another family that is taking their baby to hyperbarics. She is 9 months old and has a lot of the same challenges that Sierra does. It was so good to visit with them!

Heart attack
This little girl wants to keep us on our knees! Up until last week she had always been sleeping on the bed with us at night. She doesn't move much so it hasn't been a problem. Since we started hyperbarics and started putting her on her belly on the floor more frequently, she has begun moving a lot more. She is doing very well at crawling (not what you typically think of as crawling...this is a crawl on her belly like an army crawl.) Last week while we were in San Antonio at the hotel I woke up during the night and reached next to me to feel for Sierra.......but she wasn't there! I figured that she had buried herself under the covers. I jumped out of bed and ran around to the other side tot turn on the light. When the light came on, I gasped at what I saw. Sierra was lying on the floor beside the bed. She had crawled right out of bed! There was less than a foot of space between the metal bed frame and the wooden nightstand. Somehow she managed to fall without hurting herself. She did not have any bumps or bruises. We stayed up the rest of the night watching her to make sure she didn't have a concussion, then in the morning a friend who is a family doctor graciously took a look at her. It was really a miracle that Sierra did not hurt herself. I say that she fell out of bed and right into the hands of God. Needless to say, she will not be sleeping on the bed anymore!

Sierra is beautiful! Looks like she enjoyed her first trip to the alamo!
I've been following Sierra's other blog and am happy to see that we'll be getting more frequent updates!
Noelle pulled the same scooting-out-of-bed trick once while we were out of town. It was awful. . . I was sick about it for days. So glad Sierra is okay!
