Tatum Reese is our beautiful baby girl. She was born 15 months ago with a brain injury. She is a happy and interactive little girl who babbles, coos and giggles all day long and loves being around people.

Tatum’s brain injury has seriously delayed her development. She cannot yet sit or crawl but she is on an incredible pathway to wellness and is getting stronger and wiser every day.


Tatum has been involved in an intensive therapy program for the past three months. This program will help us make Tatum’s hurt brain well and give her the potential to crawl, walk, talk, feed herself and play... just like her sisters.

Tatum is a bright little girl with a determined will and a joy for life. Our therapy program comes to us from the Institutes for Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia. It is the only program that feels right for us and fills us with hope that everything will be ok for Tatum. 


Since starting the program intensively, we have seen Tatum's health dramatically improve, her energy and stamina have increased significantly, her hair and teeth have finally started to grow. Tatum is now interested in and is playing with her toys, she is holding her own bottle and putting it back in her mouth when it falls away. She is able to get her knees under her and her butt up in the air and push her self forward! She's moving!! She is able to roll over from her front to her back with ease and on occasion rolls from her back onto her front. She is now ticklish and so much more vocal. All of this progress and so much more has happened for Tatum because of our program, her hard work and the amazing help of our team of patterning volunteers... and it has only been 3 months! I can hardly wait for the next 3.
