When babies are admitted to our home for hospice care, it means that our goal is to make them as comfortable as possible for their last days. How exciting, then, when a baby here for hospice care doesn't fade but gets stronger! Clare was that way. Around the new year of 2009, she got very sick and we almost lost her. A staff member decided to start treating her sickness very aggressively since at that point it wasn't much more of a risk. She recovered, but we knew if she got sick again it would probably be it, but she simply never got sick again.
A year and a half ago, she couldn't even sit up. Now she's one of the older babies in the home and even tries to comfort others when they're crying in their cribs; she'll go over and pat them soothingly. She is still young and has a cleft palate, Down's Syndrome, and a heart defect to contend with, but isn't her smile precious?
She is absolutely beautiful. We are in Shawnee, Ks and waiting a travel date to go pick up Dariya from EE via RR. Praying for your journey!
ReplyDeleteShe is a real beauty! We are so happy for you! My son says she's the cutest girl he's ever seen.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, much joy!
We send our prayers and hearts with you,
Teresa, the Herbics and Families for Adoption
