Okay girl you’ve got me revved up. Believe me I needed it. My son will learn to read, do math and science. He will play football and he will be the best quarterback in homeschool history. I believe in miracles. My prayers are with you. I think of you and Parker everyday. God bless!

As the mommy of a wonderful, beautiful, blind, hormone deficient baby I have been committed since his birth to learning everything I could possibly know about his condition. I feel the need to know medically how to do what’s best for him, and also how to give him the most positive attitude. But the most important commitment of all that I’ve made to my son is to love him unconditionally with my whole heart every single day and to make sure he knows it.

Wow. What a great post. I love it. I do not have a medically fragile child but she has a life-long special need that many are unaware of. And because of that, even those of us who are aware of it can often forget it. I recently went to a seminar for professional service providers to educate them about her type of need and came home totally overwhelmed. But also more committed than ever to AD.VO.CATE. for my daughter and to teach her to advocate for herself. Coming off the press and stress of a long holiday weekend with family, I was more sensitive to the need than ever. But this post rings too true for me in so many ways, ways that the family might not see the need for. Ways that might offend or bother those who “forget” that she has needs. Thanks for posting. I appreciate it.

I too want the whole d*mn deal. For me and for her.
