The Last Week

Our last week-and-a-half together. Mommy has to go to work soon. After Jacob's post-op appointment next week, he will go to daycare. We went last week to have lunch with his class and it was as if he had never left. He has been making steady progress and has been willing to squat and to get on his knees and to sit down. He still needs help pulling up to stand and if he squats too low, he needs help getting back up. It seems counter-intuitive but I feel that he is just as or less likely to fall as he was before surgery because he knows his body is different now. He does not take risks, he is conservative, even tentative about his movements.

Work is good for me. And daycare is good for Jacob. But he is... lovely.

    I have spent the last year and a half trying to find the right words to describe Trevy's post hemi body awareness. You just did it for me!!!!

    Everything is a miracle. And a year later my eyes still get moist over simple things...
