Extended Stay

Many of you have kept up to date with the saga of Sara's illness. I have good news! We do not have a cause or diagnosis yet for Sara's illness...but we do have drastic improvement and it is all without the assistance of medicine, which to me is great.


It has been wonderful to see Sara over the past 10 days flourish. I do not exaggerate when I say for 6 weeks we were ecstatic if Sara would crawl four steps or smile without us forcing her to. She was so week and we really realize it even more now that we see her so active again.




Now, she is back and with a vengence! She today decided she really wasn't that interested in crawling...she just wants to walk. She walked all over our house today (holding onto furniture or us), she climbed all the way to the top of the stairs, and besides that she knows that we think that she is pretty cute and is totally willing to play that! It has been a blast to enjoy her and see her progress.



There are definately still things to work through...for example the fact that she has been on primarily a hypo-allergenic formula diet for the past few weeks...with very little solids...so consequently it is kind of like having a newborn...she wakes up every 3 hours to eat another bottle. Fortunately we are not currently on a strict schedule so it is not a huge deal, but when we return to work it will be~speaking of which, due to Sara's illness we have requested some extra time here in the U.S. It looks like we will be here until early to mid February. We would really like to see Sara get diagnosed and get her on a diet that will work for us prior to our return to Korea and food labels that we cannot read! :) Keep praying for Sara, we are so encouraged, but would love to see her 100%.
