Decannulation Party

An event 2 1/2 years in the making! We had Cicily's decannulation party a couple weeks ago. The two main events on the agenda were Cicily wearing a turtle neck and being completely submerged under water for the first time. She actually got to do both at the same time as her swimming suit was a turtle neck! We invited all our family and a couple friends to celebrate with us. Cicily really liked having her face in the water. She'd sit in her tube and dunk her face in every now and again.
I couldn't help but swim in the pool and cry as I thought of last summer swimming with Cicily with hardware protruding from her chin and all the incredible things she's endured to be able to swim and put her head in the water. It was a joyous day!!!
