The Early Morning Wake Up

Each morning I wake, and rush to his room. Place my hand on his chest...and wait for his breath.  I fix up his blankets and check on his diaper.  Check on the pump and adjust his position.  His curve in his spine...is clear as I move him...but he snuggles back down into what is comfy.

I stand by his bed and watch him so peaceful. And wonder how a child with so many medical challenges could be so peaceful and incredibly beautiful.

Sometimes I can go back to sleep...but usually I stay awake thinking and praying...

I am grateful for how well he is doing.  And may I honestly say...with my heart in my hands...that I never thought turning 14 would come so fast.

Now I sit drinking coffee...because the nurse has arrived..
