This kid is our future hope, Tom. It's amazing she is alive, her chances at birth to live a week were under 50%, and few with her condition, omphalacele, survive long after, most with lasting health conditions....they tend to be in hospitals much of the rest of their lives. Yet, he is the outlier, the docs at Seattle Children's Center MC won't even include her in their data, she is such an outlier. The look at her once a year and scratch their collective heads.
Speaking of lucky perhaps she is looking at her grandpa.... Smiling. Eager and ready to go on the cusp of learning she will do well regardless of the circumstances :-)
Thanks Ray. Yes, she is eager, and I only wish she could remain a child longer, but she's involved with the quarantine procedures, the BLM movement, if she makes it through the next 10 years, she'll be a force to be reckoned with.
I found it.
ReplyDeleteyeah, I saw it on 'Geezers' too.....wonder why it took so long.
DeleteToo bad it has to be this way. Is she going to be totally online?
ReplyDeleteAt least for the foreseeable future.
DeleteCovid protocol is ripping our hearts out, but children seem to be tucking in because it is what it is. Hooray for them. What a great girl, g'pa.
ReplyDeleteShe's an amazing kid, and a gift.
DeleteShe looks ready. Hope it is a great year for her.
