On this Thanksgiving weekend, one Dallas family is grateful for the little things after their 8-year-old little girl, Holly, suffered a brain aneurysm on Monday and had to be air lifted to the Children’s hospital in Dallas.
The girl’s mother, Carla Resendiz, wrote that her chances were “unknown” when she arrived at the hospital. She says the family is taking it one step at a time, but appropriately, on Thanksgiving, they’re grateful for the simple fact that Holly is “still here with us.”
Mom can be heard on tape encouraging her daughter and asking her to “keep fighting” as she lay in her hospital bed after surgery. As mom peppered questions like what she wanted to eat, the sweet girl responded with slight nods of the head. She couldn’t open her eyes, but the moment that has everyone in tears is when mom asks her to squeeze her hand. “Do me a favor. I’m holding your hand, OK? If you love me, squeeze your hand,” she said to her little one.
As the camera pans towards the hand, you can clearly see her squeeze back.
