Recovery – Day 4
At last, the swelling in her eye was going down, but it looked like some of it was crossing her nose bridge and making the other eye a tad puffy.
With C-Note’s restored mobility, we all sat at the dinner table and ate together as a family. Prior to that, C-Note really couldn’t eat very much at all unless she was in a reclined position. She would say that her head and tummy would hurt, then lay on the closest thing to her, like the rug, a bed, or a couch.
We had popcorn this afternoon and took pictures of one another on the Blackberry. Overall, it was a very good day.
"Hi. I'm Carina. What's your name?"
That's usually the first thing you hear when C-Note sees you. Her favorite past times are meeting new friends, hosting real and imaginary parties, and drawing pictures of everyone and everything, yourself included.
As C-Note's father, I stand in complete amazement of this young lady, who God has chosen to complete our family. As an adopted child with a hearing impairment, she experiences levels of joy that surpasses many who do not face similar challenges. A spunky kind of girl, she has also been affectionately nicknamed Wiggly, Jumping Jelly Bean, Wii Girl, and of course, our precious C-Note.
