Regarding the Mother\u2026<\/p>\n
I feel your presence. I feel your presents of thoughts, prayers, visions and voodoo…all are welcome. I thank you deeply, each of you. Please know this.<\/p>\n
The PICU staff has been simply amazing. My full gratitude goes out to them for their care, support, professionalism and personal involvement in Chloe\u2019s care and the understanding of all our needs.<\/p>\n
Because there is such hope, I wanted to say to all out there I am ok too. I know there has been concern for the mother.<\/p>\n
Today I danced. A moment opened itself and inspired me to move. The song is Clair de lune (Debussy). Oh yes indeedy, the Mother Lion danced to celebrate where we are today as opposed to the words, “If she wake up”. I am grateful my belief at that moment was to switch the word to \u201cWHEN\u201d she wakes up. In this room (called the quiet room, a 6 bed unit which overlooks an outdoor garden as well as the heartbeat cafe) my seized up left knee urged me to get up and stretch, breathe and be thankful.<\/p>\n
What came to me in the slow movements and breathing was the choice to do so. I could have always danced.<\/p>\n
The song I dedicated to my daughter so many years ago? I Hope You Dance.<\/p>\n
Music, the healer is working its magic here too. From The Beatles, All You Need Is Love, Michael Jackson’s version of Smile, Robert Pattinson (Twilight heartthrob of Chloe\u2019s’) Hold On, How To Save A Life (The Fray) Over The Rainbow (IZ) and Clair de lune, which gave me the dance. I can go on now into room 9 and follow the yellow brick road towards Oz. Today moves us steps closer to home. But for now, this mother lion is grateful to music, not only for the dance but for the release of emotion and most of all the BELIEVE part of me.<\/p>\n
Thank you for following Chloe’s journey and caring so deeply.<\/p>\n
And more than anything, I thank you for your part in saving a life.<\/p>\n
Now lets get started on rebuilding ………<\/p>\n
Peace out,
