Written by her caretaker:
"Coco came to us at the end of March a few days before her second birthday.
It was shocking how developmentally slow she was. She could not sit up, hold her bottle or anything. Within the first week she was holding her bottle and soon she could her frame in the Ikea high chair. We had a very dedicated volunteer who fell in love with her and they bonded so much. Within a few months she had caught up with so many things. It was simply amazing. She wanted to stack cups, turned pages on books etc. She is really smart and catches on the games really quickly. She got therapy intensively everyday but that has slowed down now to three days a week.
Her right hand is functional, even though the radius is missing. She does not favor either the right or the left hand, but uses the both with equal dexterity.
Heart: She is a heallthy color.
Anal Atresia: In the beginning she just hated having her diaper changed. That has become less of an issue over the last months. There seems be have no after effects from this surgery, but I am not a professional so I can only tell you what I see based on my experiences of previous babies. She does not seem to be incontinent and poops well.
She is sitting well and crawls by scooting her bum. She is not on her hands and knees. She is weight baring and as for her walking, she has a great desire to walk. She shows great promise and is putting her one foot in of front of the other while being held. I think she will catch up completely soon.
