Heart Tones

G1P0, healthy, except she’s a quadriplegic.

Her husband has a brachial plexopathy of his right
upper extremity. He helps her transfer with his good
arm, using a belt gripped in his bad arm.

Later, he lays their child on her chest as she cranes her
head to see. I see her profile; I see courage.
