My little Delilah

This little girl is my baby. When she was just 9 weeks old she suffered a traumatic head injury. My son had called me to tell me that when he got home he found her laying on the garage floor (he thought she was dead) with this huge knot on her head. Her poor little eyes were swollen shut and she was non responsive. I was devastated. Everyone I talked to said that we should have her put down as she would never be the same cuddly playful kitten she used to be. I just couldn't bring myself to give up on her so quickly so we spent weeks nursing her back. Every week she makes greater strides. At one point we thought she might have been blinded, but that has resolved. She's gained back her lost weight and started slowly playing with her sisters again. It was very questionable in the beginning but she has surprised everyone. Today while I was outside painting a swing she decided to play with my foot and toes. She's just the sweetest most lovable little girl. She still has not fully recovered but we're hoping that as she grows she will grow out of her minor disabilities. She's our constant reminder to never give up. :)
