Look, Mom, No Tubes!



There's peaceful, sleeping Charlotte:


And then, there's Grumpy, Why-the-heck-are-you-looking-at-me Charlotte:



I just love that you can see her.

I love that people who meet her will see her face, and not some oxygen tubing.

I love that she can finally sneeze without something blowing back in her nose.

I love her.

With or without oxygen/G-tubes/NG-tubes/apnea monitors/pulse-ox's.

I love her.

And she's coming home.

Tomorrow.

(Let's hope this time, it's for keeps)
