They said she’d never walk . . . she did; they said she’d never talk . . . she does; they said she’d never learn . . . she learns every day — and she even teaches; they said she’d never function in Society. . . . she’s one of the most social ladies you could meet; they said she will never be able to take care of herself . . . well she dresses herself, grooms herself, showers herself (okay prompting on this one); She can also let herself in with her own key to the house and can call me on her cell phone. So what has me writing this today . . . Katie came out of her room with an earring on (she only has one hole because the other one closed up) — she put it on herself, with no help. I’m so proud of her and she still amazes me every day.
