Chloe

Chloe has PCS, for those that don't know it. She fell and got a cuncussion that ended with Post Concussive Syndrome. She is tired, moody, lacking in energy, grumpy... just not herself in any way. She also lost much of her memory, and still had a very hard time remembering anything. We were told, that things would go back to "normal", but that it can takes years. The problem I had was when she was only 3... will she ever find normal again if it take syears?

The 3-4 days after Christmas, Adam and I noticed a change in Chloe. It took me a couple days to realize, but it was he "sparkle" as we call it. She always had this sparkle in her eyes, pure mischief and innocence all ruled into one. Well, she last it that day, but we started to notice it slipping back into her eyes. (As I was telling a friend today, she said "She has had such deep dark circles under her eyes, for the past year, it's just been so sad to see". Well, Praise the Lord, those circles are going away.

So on monday, we went to school on the first day back. We were a bit early, so we sat in the car waiting for the last few minutes. I pulled in next to one of her best friends. She looked over in the car and saw her friend and excitedly siad "Hey, that is my friend!" So as normal I asked her "What is her name?" The normal reply would be "I don't remember", or "will you tell me?" (We kinda just had a thing with her good friends and their parents where their parents or I would use their name somehow before Chloe had to, just as a reminder to help her "Look Hallie, it's Chloe") So this day I am waiting for the normal reply, but she got quite. I looked at her and she had this look of total shock on her face and it was overcome quickly with joy. She said "I rememeber mommy!!! It's Hallie!!! and my other good friend is Destiny!" She started to giggle, a sound I haven't heard much in the past 14 1/2 months.

My blessing for this post... isn't it obvious? I have my daughter slipping back to herself!! I am be excited and will spread the word that my God is doing amazing things in my little girls life!!! I'm so unworthy, but He loves me just the same.

I have spent that past few days feeling grumpy and just not being very grateful... but today, I will change that. I'm so very gratful and I need to keep reminding myself that even though I'm not worthy He choose me!
