Welcome to Miss Henslee's life

Introducing......... Miss Henslee

Isn't she the cutest little thing you have ever seen!  She has a very busy /crazy life :) So I decided it needed to be documented. For her sake for my my sake ( Henslee's momma) for our families sake and for anyone out there that would like to learn about our little Miss. It will be full of the ups and downs that we are blessed with.

Henslee is a beautiful 2.5 year old. She is the loviest little Miss you will ever come in contact with. She loves to Hug and Kiss everyone. She loves people. She would rather be around people than any toys. She loves high energy things. She loves to swing. Swinging is probably her favorite thing to do. She is a super good eater. I bet her favorite thing to eat is Icecream. She LOOOVES icecream. She has well an obsession with Mickey Mouse :)  She loves her little Brother Nixon. They are best buddies well atleast until Henslee goes for his eyes and mouth which she likes to do often.  She loves going to both sets of Grandma & Grandpa's. She loves seeing all 22 cousins. She has a special bond with her Aunts and Uncles. She has a very special thing about her and that is She is Adopted. She knows and Loves her BirthMom and BirthDad and everyone invovled in their lives. We love them ALL.  Most of all she is LOVED LOVED LOVED by her mommy and daddy!! And I think she loves us back :)

Miss Henslee has a different journey to go on in this life than most.  This little gal has been receiving therapy since she was 15 months old. Her therapies include Physical, Occupational, Speech and Play therapy. She goes to a play group each week with children in the area with Special Needs. She see's a Neurologist, Geneticist and Developmental Pediatrician on a regular basis. She see's all of them because she currently has No speech, very delayed fine motor skills (close to a 6 month old level), very delayed Gross motor skills ( learned to walk at 2). Henslee has just started experiencing bad sleep patterns (like no sleeping), teeth grinding, uncontrollable fits,  and this little Miss for the last year has been consumed with tapping her mouth and clapping.

Henslee had multiple blood tests done last summer which all came back negative including one for Rett Syndrome. She also had a MRI which came back normal. We have just recently seen a new Dr that would like to test further into Rett Syndrome.  So we are currently waiting for a blood test to determine whether or not she has Rett Syndrome.  This is her journey.....................
