An extraordinary girl living with Trisomy 18
Our dear little friend's best friends: Her fingers. Initially stubbornly clenched, they can now open up at times quite fully, although just for seconds - a feat for Trisomy 18 babies I believe.
And from thumb sucking, Vera has moved on to her index finger...helping to do her own therapy to straighten it.
"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

I love the pictures. She is enjoying her fingers so much. Annabel also loves her hands, her favorite toy, next to her pacifier. Vera is so beautiful and I am glad that she is doing well at this point.
Love her hairdo. What gel does she use?
She is so happy and satisfied with her fingers... must be real juicy!
Keep up the good work!!!
