My daughter is 13 months old and is still undiagnosed. she is profoundly deaf, global delays, spasmus nutans, nystagmus, strabismus, cogenital ptosis, among many other things. The past couple weeks have taken an emotional toll on me. She is getting cochlear implants in two weeks and we have had therapy and doctors appointments AT LEAST every day sometimes twice a day. Well tonight I broke down and started crying. It kills me that she has to struggle so hard with the smiplest things while other kids find them so easy. As I was crying to my husband my daughter rolled over to me so I picked her up. (Rolling is her only means of getting around as she cannot sit up or crawl). I picked her up and set her on the floor in front of me. and it happened! She sat up BY HERSELF and played for 37 minutes. THIRTY SEVEN!!!!!! She only fell a couple of times but she wanted to sit right back up on her own and keep playing. And she kept looking over at me as if she were saying "see mamma, I can do it, don't be sad". Of course this just made me cry more. I don't think there has ever been such a proud mamma! She just knew I needed something and she showed me her strength and she was soooo proud of herself. and so was I. 
It is definitely moments like this that keep me going.
