Our last smile

We really cherish this picture for many reasons. This is one of the last pictures we have of her smiling. It was taken by my best friend, Erika, at Christmas and her first seizure was in February. Erika sent this to me after Maddux was put in ICU during her first treatment for Infantile Spasms. I remember coming home to shower and getting this in the mail and crying because I could see in this picture what I had not seen in 2 months.
