27 days: Pure delight as he finds his voice

After five weeks, Alfie’s lungs have developed enough for him to come off the ventilator , which means we get to hear his voice for the first time. it is like a little squawk, which we record and send to friends and family using our shared text message group. the sound melts my heart and i vow never to tell him to be quiet. to be honest, i’m not sure if that promise will last to the toddler years!
