You wouldn't believe all the progress Marlee is continuing to make! The last 2 weeks have been remarkable.  She is talking a lot more now and is even dancing around! Her neurologist, therapists, and doctors are in disbelief of how much and fast she is progressing!

Marlee saying some of our names:

And we definitely can't wait for you to see it for yourselves!! We hope that you will be able to join us SUNDAY, JUNE 16th for her Benefit / Birthday Party!

If you are interested in helping for the party, I am looking for donations for Drinks (water, soda, juice) , food, and still looking for more entertainment/performers!  Please email me at: MamaCan25@gmail.com for more information or ways that you can help!  
I am excited and hope that all of you will be an,e to stop by and spend part of your da with us. Marlee has made some amazing progress, but there are still a lot of medical expenses accrued and still accruing for the care of Marlee.  And, this day is dedicated to her fight and progress!!  Go Marlee!!!

Marlee Says her FIRST Words!!




This past Tuesday, Marlee said her FIRST word!! .... "MAMA"!

And, since then she has also said, "OPEN" and "MINE".  She is also running around, reacting to everyone & everything around her, and eating everything in sight!!! 

Her speech is slurred and mumbled.  You can tell she is trying hard and re-learning how to talk.  Hopefully by her party she will have so much to tell everyone!!!
