The past ten days had taken its toll.  Unbelievably stressful.  Until yesterday.  A good night's sleep and no incidents with N has done wonders.  His smile and apparent decrease in discomfort have been a soothing balm on my own pain.  Pain of having put him through it all. 

We are all slowly bouncing back into normalcy, after what seemed like a bad dream.  Thank God for P.  Thank God for parents.  Thank God for friends.  And thank God for my brave little baby, who has taught me to be strong and resilient.  And still teaches me every single day.
