More doctors appointments have happened the last two weeks. Some had great news and some weren't quite what we are hoping for, but they aren't horrible. We have added another surgery to her growing list to repair eye muscles.

Our weekends have been spent outside enjoying the beautiful weather and trying to get some yard work done. We have watched Ciyana go from not being able to get her walker across the yard getting caught on lumps of dirt or grass patches to getting that walker to go where she wants it to. She is making great strides in her strength.

Today she had multiple successes. Her first being taking three steps all by herself. No walker and nobody holding her steady. Her legs aren't yet strong enough for more, but she is getting stronger everyday. She followed that with making it up the stairs. Up to this point she has only been able to go up one maybe two steps, but today she made it up from the basement!

Yep, I am being the crazy mom that is publicly celebrating every little accomplishment. But, if you understand where this amazing little girl has come from and that she has only been home since December you will understand my crazy momdem.

If it weren't for Reece's Rainbow my daughter could very well still be sitting in an orphanage continuing to loose strength. She may not have had the opportunity to be a blessing to this family and a wonderful, joyous, and loved daughter. We can sit and ponder the what ifs, but they are not reality! Praise God!

You have the opportunity to help these beautiful children by contributing to Reece's Rainbows 21 Days of Hope. There is a matching grant so for every $1000 given to 21 Days of Hope $1000 goes to a waiting child and bringing them that much closer to a family. If you feel God leading you to do so please consider helping Reece's Rainbow.

Until next time, God Bless!
