These pictures were taken a day before Alyvia's brain surgery. It's taken me a while to post them because I had a really hard time looking at them and going through them. Which sounds dumb, I know I just needed to be grateful that Livie was still here, but it was stll hard looking at the pictures and seeing how she used to be....so normal, she was a regular 2 year old.
Don't get me wrong, I am so happy that we still have our Livie, but it has still been hard to see her so agitated, upset and so unlike herself. Things she used to love, she didn't love anymore, things that used to make her laugh didn't work anymore. We had a hard time getting her to even smile. Some days were better than others, and some days were just really hard. She has had a lot of agitation and she would get really upset and it was really hard to calm her down.
Because of everything that has happened to Alyvia, especailly with the Cerebellar Mutism, we knew that it was going to take time for Livie's brain to heal. The doctor's said give it a year, and even then she might not be able to talk well or might not be able to walk, but hopefully she would be 60-80% of where she was before all this happened, some kids never fully recover and some kids do.
