Playing house
Today Elly was able to feed, change, and burp Annie. It was EMBARRASSING how clumsy I was! You would of thought I had never changed a diaper before (Luke would beg to differ). You can't imagine how wonderful it was to be able to do something so 'routine'. The old familiarity of changing a diaper coupled with the clumsiness and concern that comes from juggling such a little thing with all these bells and whistles (what I like to call all the iv lines and monitors) just produced a rush of emotions: confidence, fear, love, pride that I could finally do something more for her... it was such a rich, fulfilling moment and a sign of hope for what is to come when Annie is able to come home.

What a wonderful day for you and Annie! That must have felt SO good to you both! Hugs to you all,
Love,

Hurray! Next thing you know you'll be taking up juggling - or is that kind of how it feels at the moment? This is clearly a taste of things to come...which is just great!
I am so happy for you guys. That is amazing!! That is great news. Keep up the good work and the hard fight Annie!!!! I know you must have felt what cannot be put into words. I saw Annie today, and I said to myself, Boy does she look really good. I knew I was going to make it my business to read up on her progress here. Great News!!! God bless her!!!
