When I arrived this afternoon to the hospital Liam was breathing on her own. She was wide awake. Her color was good and her eyes were very lively. She was still very quite. Wait, could it be because she has a huge tube shoved down her throat?? Anyway, while it's always good to see her like that, nobody knows yet if she's climbing out of the hole. The next few days may tell us more.
Rachel put on a CD one of Liam's favorite songs. It's a very up-beat song. I exploited the fact that Liam can't complain and added my excellent voice (only by my own standards) to the tune. Liam, through all the shit she's in - drugs, tubes, illness - smiled at me widely. PRICELESS. This baby of mine is so special. How, when in such a dire situation, can she touch those arounf her so profoundly? How easily can she make us smile! Amazing, simply amazing.
