Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Traci, I wanted to post to you a few days ago- sorry I didn't! I wanted to say how well I related to your post about trying to be strong and worrying that relatives will feel sad when they see your son in the band. Don't worry- it will be a few days of adjustment, and it does seem harder on adults to cope than it is for the kids- but I think that is because of all the stigmas attached to your child wearing a head device that looks quite serious, not to mention the stares and questions from family, friends and outsiders that will now become your life for a few months. On the one hand it seems as though your world is crashing in, but on the other your so grateful that this is only something that could be considered trivial in the big picture of life. If you convey a lighthearted approach to family and friends, as well as take that opportunity to educate them, you will become so proud of your little one and eager to share how well he is doing. Don't let any negative vibes affect how you feel about making this decision- many people are clueless about this and will not make educated statements anyway. Hang in there and don't worry so much!! After he's had the band for awhile, honestly, you'll think he looks funny without it (I never thought I would say it, but I did too!). Good luck with your surgery, I hope all goes well and sending lots of prayers your way for a full recovery. When your back to your old self, please give us an update on how little Alec is doing, and you too!!! ' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
