Oh, this little girl.
We have had a wonderful few days, quiet and peaceful
Her pain seems to have finally subsided with the addition of a new pain medicine
Her lungs are clear
Her body is still (ish)
Her eyes are bright
Her ears are open
Preschool is so amazing for her
She is seeing children her own age doing things she remembers being able to do
Walking, talking, eating, laughing, singing, playing
She's trying to find these skills inside of herself again.
Her cry has subsided but she is making more noise, trying to talk
She is incoherent still, like a babbling infant, but I know she has something to say and something to tell me, so every time I hear her tiny voice I respond. Alone in my house except for my little girl, I am always talking to my baby. I sing and chant and describe what I am doing. In my mind, I'm giving her words. Material to work with. Sounds to form with her weak tongue, lips, jaw, and I know one day she will talk back in words recognized by Merriam-Webster.
She is so amazing, isn't she?
