"Thank You For Kayla!"

It has been a long, long time since I've written in my blog. So many people have asked how Kayla is doing and many were worried that my lack of blogging meant that Kayla wasn't doing well. Well, my apologies for being so out of touch. Instead of writing a lengthy blog post about all of Kayla's accomplishments since December of 2009, I thought I would share this video that I took of Kayla last night as we started her birthday celebration. This video just says it all. Happy 6th Birthday Kayla. You are the most loving and special girl I could have ever wished for.
Love,
Mom

From the mouth of babes:
"I wish for all the families, and I wish for all families and I wish for all families and thank you for a happy, and thank you for all, um...oops, let's try again. I wish for all families, and thank you for this house, and thank you for all these families singing this happy birthday song. I want to see you. Thank you for this and thank you for nana and papa and thank you for David and mom and thank you for all the family. Thank you for daddy and thank you for all these daddy's and thank you for all these families." Yeah! .
"Thank you for Kayla!" (Lisa), "Thank you for this and make a wish." "And World Peace." (David) Everyone clap. Papa, make words. I want to make a wish first. Thank you for all families and thank you for all...make a wish David.
"It's Caillou, look..."
"Thank you for Caillou!" (Lisa)

Happy Birthday Kayla,
seeing your progress and how hard of a life you have had all i can do is look at my 6 year old sister an hope she will not have what we do. although you have the type one and I have the type 2 witch occurs later in life but all and all I really hope that your life will only get better.

Happy Birthday Kayla,
I just found your blog online and it showed me what really can happen with myotonic Dystrophy and I am very pleased that you are doing so well. I was just diagnosed with this in january but I have type two witch occurs later in life right now i am 21 and have been fealing symptomes for the last two years. I also have a 6 year old syster and it is hard for me to think that she may feel this way as well but after reading your story and see how well you have overcame all your problems so far I can only hope the best for all of us in our up coming years. so again Happy Birthday from now and all your many birthdays to come. also enjoy your great family and remember they will always be there for you.
