We expect the manual chair to be here any day, and it could take 3 to 4 months to get her power chair. Callie chose \u201cpopstar pink\u201d for the color of her power chair.<\/p>\n<p>Callie continues to thrive in preschool and is currently going through a period of strength. The other day, Callie sat unsupported and played for about 20 minutes! That\u2019s something she hasn\u2019t done since infancy and it was very exciting. We\u2019ve heard about other children with SMA having periods of strength. We also attribute this to her physical therapies and to the many prayers on her behalf.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve started Callie on a calorie supplement that we add to her milk to help her gain weight. She\u2019s still not to the 3rd percentile, which is where we\u2019d like her to be. We\u2019re hoping that she can gain some weight before winter sets in&#8211;if\/when she gets sick, she needs to have more weight on her, and right now she doesn\u2019t have any she can afford to lose.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to posting a picture soon of Callie in her new set of wheels!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to everyone\u2019s orders with Mary Kay, another $125 has been raised for gene therapy research!
