So much love to give.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
Maeve helped dress Eamon, and she sat on my bed talking with him while I showered and dressed. Such devotion.
We went off to therapy. Fridays we see Miss Lisa ( a post solely about how God uses this beautiful woman to come), and she always encourages Maeve and Myles to participate. Today, Lisa was so pleased with how Eamon looked - good coloring, stronger movements, and medically stable. As Maeve got on the mat, right up close to Eamon, he vocalized. Lisa noted Eamon's obvious recognition of his big sister.
Later, Eamon was upright and Lisa asked Maeve to help her with the therapy. Eamon's head was facing one direction, Maeve was on the opposite side, and began tapping his arm and calling his name. First, we could see just his eyes go to her side and slowly his head followed. "Great job, now move around to the other side and repeat." Tapping, Tapping, name called, and waiting. The eyes first, looking for his girl, and wait, wait, wait...head follows.
This we repeat two more times and were met with the same success. It was so thrilling, this is a milestone for Eamon. Clearly it was not coincidence, Eamon was purposely responding to Maeve's voice - a first step of sorts, the beginning of communication that we can expand upon. God is good, a token for a mommy desperate for a milestone! And, music to Maeve's ears - "He really knows his big sister!" How couldn't he. Her love breaks through, grabs hold, and pulls him to the surface, much to our delight.
