At 4 weeks old, Keely Skinner almost lost her life. Keely was rushed to the hospital with high fever and seizures. She had come down with a deadly form of Meningitis (severe infection located in the fluid around the brain) which then progressed into Encephalitis (which is a severe infection located directly on the brain). Keely continues to suffer from developmental delays, tremors and from a chronic seizure disorder, having multiple seizures every day. At two years old, Keely has severe physical limitations, she is still at the stage of a newborn 0-3 months. Through all life’s challenges, Keely remains to be the happiest, most loving child; inspiring and touching the lives of everyone she meets.

GREAT Week

Well, it's been a very busy but productive week.  Nick and Tiny Kidd got to spend Daddy/Daughter time while I was out of town.  They went and spent great time with friends....they are my social butterflies.  Keely has been showing some amazing progress this week.  She has been exploring her face more when the mirror is in front of her, touching her eyes, nose, hair, ears, and even trying to put her finger in her mouth!  Her aim has always been way off and now it is looking much better, a little more accurate. We have seen great movement from her left hand, she is trying so hard.  Two mornings in a row we have watched her on the video monitor, when she wakes up and is laying in her bed (this is when her hand is the most relaxed), she is opening her fingers and trying to touch her bumper or trying to bring her hand to midline and touch her right hand with it.  This is amazing activity for her left hand and we just pray that it continues to progress!  She has also gotten some great time in her stander, she seems to be tolerating it a little better.  Her head control is getting better so the stander is not as tiresome.  For those that don't know, the stander helps to build strength in her legs, balance, and placing her body in the proper positioning when in the seated position(the stander goes from standing to sitting).  The stander allows her to stand or sit like a normal child, playing with her toys on the tray while building strength.  YEA For Our TINY KIDD!!!
