Being a mother of a (theoretical) biped is awesome, but since life isn’t a Lifetime movie Josie isn’t magically all better. Her motor skills are still significantly delayed, and we still don’t now why. The difference is, I’m more at peace with not knowing.

We are concentrating on helping Josie get better, and the rest- future babies, chromosomal analysis and specialists can wait for now. My whole life I have struggled with living in the now, but I can think of easier ways to practice this lesson. Maybe Josie is teaching me more than I can ever teach her.
