Reese and I stepped outside today and the weather was gloomy and a bit chilly. Reese did not seem to mind the morning breeze. We traveled down the windy road on our normal route to the clinic. I talked to her the entire time in the car. She never once opened her eyes but smiled and made some sounds to let me know she was listening. I thought for a moment today was going to be a bright day despite the weather outside.
Inside the clinic, Reese had her first feeding and things started out good. The feedings throughout the day continue to get better. By the end of the day, Reese was opening her mouth before she was asked to. This made my heart smile!
I met a few of the mom's today, who already when through the day treatment with their children. I actually spoke with one of these women before attending the clinic. Her name is Trish and she has a three year old son named Tyler. I remember her telling me how hard the first two weeks were for her. Trish was the person who inspired me to come to St Josephs and get help for our daughter.
Here are some pictures of Reese and her friends at the clinic. Each person is special to her. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. You make a difference in the lives of all these young children.
