An extraordinary girl living with Trisomy 18
Vera had some little friends come visit today, Children's Day. She was crying so this little boy held up a musical toy to pacify her. We told him he had to hold it till the milk went all the way down. He obediently did, standing motionless, watching intently at the syringe ("Is it going down???")"A simple child, that lightly draws its breath, and feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?"
- William Wordsworth
Without weakness,
how do we find strength?
Without darkness,
how do we see the light?
Without sorrow,
how do we savour joy?
Without silence,
how do we learn to listen?
Without fear,
how do we learn to be brave?
Without death,
how do we treasure life?
Without loss,
how would we know what we have gained?
- Yin May

Poor Vera, Is she doing better. You said she had been not well in a comment you made. Hoping that the feeding tube will work out and she will feel better.
How's my little angel? After some rest is she back to herself??
Will pray for her quick rebound.
