An extraordinary girl living with Trisomy 18
She's been trying to push herself up, arching her spine - and getting frustrated, and exhausted by the effort. It's a good sign though that she wants to try. You'll get there, little girl. Just keep trying.
"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

Absolute great job Vera! She seems to know where the edge of the bed is. She stopped just at the right time...haha! That's really clever!

I am so impressed with you Vera! What a harder worker you are. Annabel is very weak in her upper body and never wanted to do anything on her tummy. Also her therapist noticed that when she was on all fours her oxygen levels dropped. Vera you are teaching people so much and giving so much hope. May you inspire so many. Your blog has been a blessing to me.
Love both your determination.... You make things so possible.
Keep up the hard work.
May,
I have a big smile on my face watching your little "spider girl". She is so.....sweet.
I love to see her progress....it is miraculous. Thanks so much for sharing your treasure.
More and more, the word is getting out and the myths are being proven wrong, "trisomy 13/18 is NOT incompatible with life or universally lethal"
