*lets out a long slow breath*

It has been a year. But a month and a half after we drew down Laila's spasm medicine to nothing, she still hasn't had any more spasms and she's developing normally. She's started saying "Wha dat?" and pointing at things, which means the house will never be quiet again. She gets very insistent that when she's sitting in our lap with a book, we read it to her. And we read it to her the way she wants it read, and if that's backwards, or skipping back and forth through the book, or stopping halfway through, well, that's what she wants.
She's going to be okay.
