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.

Med Changes, Peek-a-Boo, 'I Love You,' & Friends

The past couple of weeks have been pretty busy with therapy, the holidays, and family visiting and Keely continues to learn new and exciting things.  Keely still continues to have several seizures a day and her Neurologist in Texas just increased her medicine about a week ago. So far not much change on that, the doctor wants to do bloodwork again and check to see where her levels are at.  Tomorrow, after therapy, she goes to see her Neurologist here in the city, so I will keep you posted on both of those things. 

Keely has recently discovered how to play 'Peek-A-Boo!'  We are so excited; she managed to grab a hold of her towel, raised it up to her face covering her eyes, wait a few seconds and then lower it from her face, we say 'Peek-a-boo' and she gets so excited then covers her eyes again!  She's playing it all the time, I tried to get video but she got sidetracked so I will try again.

Tiny Kidd has become very vocal and at times it's like she tries to carry on a conversation with you.  We say 'I Love You,' to her about 5000 times a day and she has been trying her hardest to say it back!!  She does 3 distinct sounds and has gotten so close to trying to form the 'L' sound!  We do have video of this below.  We are soooo proud of our Tiny Kidd!

We had a great time Saturday night watching the big football game with friends.  Tiny Kidd loves football but I think she had an especially great time when all the boys would jump up and scream,  she would crack up and laugh so hard at them,  it was awesome!
