11 specialists
6 weeks on oxygen
6 months in a helmet
4 days in the hospital
3 months on thickened fluids
1 surgery
1/2 million prods, pokes, doctor visits, and moments of worry
All of that put together can't dampen to the elation I feel when I hold him close with his soft, helmet-free and well-rounded head touching my skin. Or when he signs something so definitively I know for once exactly what he's thinking. Or when his whole face explodes into a smile because I walked into his line of sight. Or we laugh at each other laughing for 5 minutes straight.

there is nothing in the world better than a big smiley smile when you walk into a child's eye sight - it makes everything worth while.
