The Sound of a Child-- Originally Published January 13, 2008

I try not to post two entries over the weekend because I know a lot of you check only on weekdays. But, this is worth an entry, so if you are reading this on Monday morning, be sure to start with yesterday's entry and read all the exciting things that have been happening!

Today was a great day. Not only did Michael get to go to a store for the first time (Toys R Us, of course!), but he also made a breakthrough on his passy-muir valve. We actually heard Michael's voice today (he was crying). It didn't last long, but it did happen.

Special thanks today go to Melissa P for her advice on the valve. Melissa -- because of your suggestions on waiting for the coughing spell to end, we actually took a big step forward this afternoon.

Nothing is so beautiful as the sound of a child -- no matter what they are saying.
