Arabella had a pretty good day. She slept, and slept, and slept some more. It looked like she was able to get into a deeper sleep today, which was nice to see, so we did our best to leave her alone during those peaceful moments. Belle likely needed to catch-up on her rest, like a teenager that's been out too late partying the entire weekend.
Her potassium levels were still slightly on the lower side, but that should normalize soon. Everything else is quite steady.
Bella restarted her feeds again too, which might be a reason for her increased sleepiness. She's finally satisfied, I bet. She's calm and relaxed now that she's being fed again. She has always enjoyed her meals 😁
I can't stop saying how fortunate we've been. Fortunate since the very beginning, actually. Through everything.
Yes, there are many challenges that still lie ahead, but instead of looking towards Belle's next hurdle or milestone, or being letdown by the not-so-good-things that could have been avoided, let's just celebrate the moment.
Let's be thankful.
Imagine that you're involved in a car accident (God forbid). Your car is completely wrecked but you're left untouched, with only minor cuts and bruises. The medical staff keep telling you that you're lucky to be alive. The airbags deployed just in time. You were simply one of the lucky ones. You look at the wreckage, at how savagely the metal has been bent and twisted - and then you look at your wounds.
Would you complain about the cuts on your hands? Or the bruises on your wrists?
