Helen and Her Walker at Grandpa Bucks'

Gettin' Around
Helen has been doing wonderfully! She has been getting around and doing all the things little girls love to do. She will soon be getting a rear facing walker, which will help her trunk muscles develop, and also will help her learn to stand up without putting all her weight on her walker. She loves to chase Daddy around and try to run his feet over.

School Dayz
Helen goes to school for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. Her favorite time of the day is when she gets on her big, yellow school bus. She does very well in class. She is very friendly and is the highlight of her classroom. In addition to helping her learn, she gets some really good occupational and physical therapy.
 


2001 FS4SB Reunion at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee

Every year, Vanderbilt University holds the Fetal Surgery for Spina
Bifida Family Reunion. It is an opportunity for all the families involved
to meet, share stories, and get to know one another. The doctors have
an opportunity to examine all of the children who were operated on
while in-utero. Each child gets a physical examination, and is also
checked for motor skills as well as mental development. The doctors
then use all of the information to determine the benefits of surgery to
repair the childs lesion while still in utero.

Christmas 2000 in Washington

Christmas 2000 will be forever in our hearts. It was the first time that little Helen had ever been able to meet Steve's side of the family in Washington State. But it would be the only time that Helen would ever meet her Great Grandpa Henry Dyck from British Columbia, Canada. Just 5 months later, Grandpa Henry went to be with Our Lord and Savior after living such a wonderful life, here on Earth. The moment Grandpa held Helen and Patti together was one of the most appreciated times in my life. I will always remember that day, the smiles, and the love that was shared by one of the most sincere men that I have ever known. Auf Wiedersein Grandpa


Great Grandparents

2 Helen's and a Patti
Helen was finally able to meet the Great Grandmother whom she was named
after. Grandma Helen Adams from Burlington, Washington. Grandma said
she was "just tickled" to see little Helen for the first time. It was a wonderful
moment when Grandma was able to hold the two of them together.
 


Grandparents




Grandma Maggie with Patti and Helen
Helen was able to meet the Grandmother of whom her middle name came
from. Grandma Margaret Rose Vail of Lyman, Washington. As usual,
Steve's Mom was very emotional when it came to seeing her Grandchildren.
She had all sorts of songs to sing, and stories to tell. (Some about Steve
when he was younger). They could not get enough of Grandma Maggie.
