This time last year, we had a sense of calm. We thought the worst was over! When Jaylyn was born with low platelets and required transfusions and a week long NICU stay, we were told that once her platelets normalized that she was out of the woods and we had nothing more to worry about. And so for this brief moment in time, we thought no different! We were relieved! I felt as though I could breathe again after holding my breath. It wasnt until Jaylyn was around 4 months old that we began to suspect that something more was wrong. So in this moment in time I can revel in my happiness. Enjoy the calm. And honestly the only thing thats really changed how I feel about Jaylyn is that I love her even more! We were planning on Jaylyn being able to walk at this time and fantasized about her running door to door to trick or treat. So this years Halloween is bitter sweet. Jaylyn still mostly army crawls to get around. She has been getting up on her knees more which is very exciting and we wonder if next Halloween I will be blogging about having to chase after her. I certainly hope so! And I look forward to looking back on this one next year! Have a happy and safe Halloween from all of us here on Jaylyn's Journey!
