A website for our family and friends to keep up with Mikaela and her Arthrogryposis. Also to help families find their way through this journey.

Mikaela has started PreK!
Mikaela has come so far and we couldn't be more proud of her! For a
baby we were told "would never survive", "never be able to use her arms"
and "shouldn't be here" amazes us every day and she is such a gift, not
only to us, but to so many who also believed in her. We're ever so
grateful for all the prayers and love you have shown her over the past 3 years.
