After nearly four weeks of no sickness and two weeks of positive weight gain, Aimee has come to life. Her eyes are radiant and shining. She is energetic and responsive. She is happy and beginning to make noises again. We had gotten so used to her being sick, we had begun to forget what healthy Aimee is like. Protecting her has made an incredible difference!
While we are blissfully happy with the changes, we don't know for sure what it means going forward. We are weighing the cost of exposures with the benefit of outside relationships. Keeping her away from everyone is effective, but also sad.
In other happy news, after last week's ABM lessons, Aimee has raised her right arm straight out from her body 4 times. We rarely see progress in her arms so this is a big deal! She also continues to do some fun foot and leg positioning.
This is excellent! Betty has been doing so well too that we didn't realize that she is being her normal self again! It's so hard when we get stuck in "sick" ruts.
