This looks like a small update,
But for us it’s hugeee! 🥹
At our first visit, there was almost no contact. He was bedridden, unable to communicate and barely wanted to look at people. After everything he had experienced, especially after receiving poor care before coming home, trust simply wasn’t there.
And now?
✨He smiles with us.
✨ He does activities with us.
✨ He passes the ball.
✨ He colors with water, paints and plays with different materials.
✨ He eats independently.
✨ He lets us know when he’s having a bad day.
✨ He can nod yes.
✨ Give us a thumbs up.
And sometimes he’ll pat us on the head, almost like his own little way of saying thank you. 🥹
They might seem like small things, but when you know where we started, they are huge.
And I am so incredibly proud of him.
This progress is absolutely not ours alone.
Jeandra, the speech therapist who worked so closely with us in the beginning, thank you.
And especially his sister, who has dedicated so much time to him. Always positive, fiercely involved in his care, open to trying things and even going out herself to get the materials we recommended so we could keep experimenting and discover what he was still able to enjoy and do.
And of course, our team.
Thank you for not giving up, especially on the days where it feels like we are taking a step backwards. Those days are part of the journey too.
He experienced a severe CVA and continues to live with its effects.
But quality of life?
That is still very much there. 💖
