Your entire family is such an inspiration. I have followed Scarlett's story since the diagnosis and I am happy to see how many great milestones she has hit this year! 2014 will be even better.
I have been following your story for a long time. My daughter, Charlotte, is almost the exact same age as Scarlett so I can really relate to your story. It is amazing to see just how far Scarlett has come. Your persistence and faith in Scarlett to beat this disease is commendable! Looking at her, and seeing all of her accomplishments you just know that she is going to have a long, productive and happy life ahead of her! Congrats!! You must be so proud.

I have a picture of your daughter since 2010, every time I wonder how is she doing, she is such a fighther, and so beautiful. God bless her and give her the strength to keep fighting.
Congratulations on such a great year!
That picture of her in the toilet! Ha! I am dying laughing!She is such a precious girl! Happy 2014!!
I've been following your blog since Scarlett was first diagnosed. I am so happy to see she is doing so well. Many times I cried at my computer while reading about her updates, I was so scared she wouldn't recover. Thankfully, she looks like she's doing exceptionally well! Both you and your husband must have had the toughest years of your lives, but I always admired how you marched on and only thought about her recovery and what needed to get done. You have a beautiful family and I will always thing about you all!
Hi! I have been following your story since Scarlett was little. Ada, my daughter was born on October 23rd 2010. She was actually due on Oct 15th :)
Anyway, she also has glasses and although you have probably found a solution by now, we love the Miraflex glasses. Ada has had hers since she was 14 months old and has never broken them. They are flexible and almost impossible to break unless an adult stomped on the lenses or something. Just thought I would let you know in case breaking glasses is still an issue.
Good luck to you, glad to hear Scarlett is doing well!!
