Eating a Banana With Style

Eating a banana is not much of what we think of. We just grab a banana, peel it, and open our mouth and eat it like the picture!



But, when it comes to the woman I take care of (I call her Lynn here), it's totally different. Six month ago, I was almost forcing her to eat a tiny bit of banana on a spoon... sad, but true...About 4 months ago, she started eating a slice of banana on a spoon with kind of willing. About 2 months ago, she voluntary opened her mouth to eat a slice of banana on a spoon.

Today, I just got strong feeling that she can eat banana like we do if I just hold on to the banana. Then, if she couldn't, I could just go back to regular way to feed her a banana.

Guess, what! She starts eating a banana like we do! She opened her mouth big enough so that whole diameter of banana was able to fit! So, exciting!!!
I was telling Lynn how excited I am! How thankful I am! I don't know if she understood what I said but I could tell for sure our heart/ spirit communicated enough I felt joy we shared! I was so happy that I was even telling her "that's the way to eat a banana with style!" Ha ha ha...

Most people around her are still unbelief that she would ever get any better. But, her recovery is REAL. I get to she her recovery because I am the one who spend most of tome with her. Now, I am getting positive support from her husband who starts seeing her recovery!

Once upon a time, someone said something like...
"Success is a moving target," and "Success of Roma was not done in a day." I think it goes to the same way to the recovery process. Small steps all add up!!!

Faith + Work = Miracle
