My daughter is the healthy one, and I am the one on the vent. One of the great
sadnesses that I have felt is not being able to do some of the mother-daughter
activities that require a lot of walking, physical strength, and stamina. My
daughter and I have talked about this and have allowed ourselves to grieve. I
am there for her in all ways that count though, and this has brought great joy
to me.
It sounds like the birthday party for Bailey will be a lot of fun!
My best to you and Bailey,
Carol in Massachusetts
