A Really Good Day

Yesterday was one of those days when you just can't believe your luck. Vera was such an angel. She did not cry even once the entire day. She enjoyed all her feeding and physical therapy and fell asleep real easily. For the first time, she even watched TV sitting in her rocker! Days like this are few are far between, so I really cherish them. Not because it's easier on me, but because it's great to see her contented all the time. Like Ian says, "What a strange day..."

First taste of "food": Although we haven't yet done a swallow study, we have to get her tastebuds stimulated. She seems to like the fruit gel. It's a good start!

Sweat-it-out: Head raising therapy continues. The little girl is working really hard!

Seeing Vera's progress is just amazing :)!

Although Ian is unwell, he sacrifices his own rest to nurse Vera... wow!! He is a gem!!! You too.... having to work and come back to mother Vera... must be very tiring for you. I respect both of you very much for your unconditional love for Vera.

Keep it up.
