I think that my husband and I are some of the most fortunate people alive, and am so grateful - but particularly to God, and my ever-praying mother, who herself seems to walk on water.

Hypothermia Treatment for Birth Asphyxia Babies a Literal Godsend
Just a quickie: received a phone all from Ariana's ophthalmologist's receptionist: her ERG results are in, and are "completely normal". So we have a normal MRI, a normal ERG, and all of her observable milestones are on track, if not ahead of schedule. This, from a child who was so oxygen deprived at/around her birth that her pH was that of a corpse... On the second day of her Hypothermia Treatment, I was begging for reassurance from a pediatrician, who punctuated the typical non-commitment with one phrase: "but this works hey... It really works".
I think that my husband and I are some of the most fortunate people alive, and am so grateful - but particularly to God, and my ever-praying mother, who herself seems to walk on water.
