After everything she has been through, the thought of getting her home feels closer than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These past few days, the focus has continued to be on helping Magnolia regain her strength and mobility through therapy, while also working toward her feeding goal. Feeding has been a struggle because she continues to have episodes of vomiting, but her family is so proud of her progress with mobility. She is surpassing expectations and showing everyone just how strong she is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>One day at a time. One milestone at a time.

La alimentaci\u00f3n ha sido un desaf\u00edo porque contin\u00faa teniendo episodios de v\u00f3mito, pero su familia est\u00e1 muy orgullosa del progreso que ha logrado con su movilidad.
