Hello. My name is Abby. I'm eight years old and I was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome when I turned two. My parents work hard to help me make sense of the world around me and this blog is meant to help others understand my world and my journey with Rett Syndrome.

Big Stuff!

I have to brag about my girl tonight. She has been rolling over from her belly to her back for a week or so now. She used to do it when she was younger, but she lost it a while back. With regression, she has lost hand function, so she doesn't want to bear weight on her hands to push up off the ground. Lately, however, she will push up and stay there for a while, and then roll over. I was trying to show her uncle Pat and aunt Teresa, so I put her on her belly. Well, I got a phone call so I left the room. While I was gone, she went from her belly to all fours to sitting ALL BY HERSELF. Wes was lucky enough to see it too. Hopefully, I can get her to do it again tomorrow. I'm so excited for her! She hasn't been able to execute transitions like that in a LONG TIME. She is always surprising us. Yay Abby!!!
