Hope

Ashley went to the farm to spend a couple days with Grandma and Grandpa Neufeld, so Hope had all the attention today. It appears that she enjoyed it. This is the most alert we've seen her in weeks, maybe months. I'm not sure when the last time would be, and maybe this won't last but it was a blessing we cherished today.

She was almost smiling. The left corner of her mouth kept turning up, and we accepted that as a 'HUGE' smile, because it was definitely in response to our smiles. She even had her eyes wide open, instead of half shut. This was in the morning...

And then we took her to her weekly Chiropractor appointment. After which, she promptly fell asleep.


And now it's 4:40pm and she's sitting in my arms as I type this, trying to smile in between multiple seizures.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments on Mother's Day. It made my day even more special.
