Breath Sounds

My heart skipped a beat last night when I checked on Brianna in her sleep.
I couldn't hear any breathing!!!
Then I realized that she was finally able to breathe with nothing obstructing the airflow! The gigantic boulders that once occupied her throat are gone, and in turn, she breathes SO quietly. I bent my head down until my ear was almost touching her little mouth, and then I held my breath until I could verify that indeed she was breathing. I realized that she has NEVER breathed quietly before. Even as a tiny infant, I could always hear her breathing when I entered the room. We've always been able to tell where she is in the house, just by listening for her breath. Now, I'm afraid, she'll be able to sneak around much more easily. Maybe we should have waited until after her teen years to remove the boulders, eh?

Her cute little voice is much higher pitched as well. It's so cute. She is starting to get back to her normal, cheery self. Boy, have we missed her.
