I have some pictures from our weekend and videos and an update: We are T minus 2 days until Samara's surgery: She is having tubes placed in her ears to drain the fluid and help her hear better. We will go back in 3 weeks for a check and another hearing test. Please offer up prayers for a smooth surgery (very typical surgery for kids), protection, and that this would reverse the hearing loss.

Listen carefully: Mara is making music with her boogery nose!
This is Samara's new thing: If we put her on her hands and knees, she can move into a sitting position. May not be that huge, but considering she only learned how to do this with our help on Wednesday and by Sunday could do it on her own, we are very proud! Her physical therapist taught us this move to help her to want to crawl; the idea is if she crawls, it isn't that fun because then she is still stuck on her belly. But if we teach her how to move from her hands and knees to her butt, then crawling will be more appealing. We love our PT! Next step is hopefully getting onto her hands and knees on her own.
