Hi, Everyone...........I want to thank everyone for their honest opinions on

their emotions about our kids. Once again, you guys have made me feel a part

of a family........a very supporting family. When the reporter came on

Tues., I was honest with my answers. Yes........she did ask about anger and

pity days !!! I also used someone's comment about being angry with God but

knowing that God gives us the strength to carry on. She was very thorough

about her questions and was here for almost 2 hours. She did her research on

the web about dual dx. and knew a lot about %s and possible causes. She did

ask me if I thought it was from the MMR vaccine. She sat for 1/2 hour on the

floor with Gareth while he showed her all his picture books !!!! I also told

her about this digest (told her it was private, though !!!) and how it was a

blessing for us (thank you, again, Joan) Anyways, if there is a way for me

to get a copy to everyone, I will share it.

ALSO..............about God. I love Him and don't think he is the 'cause' of

our children's problems. BUT.......I told the girl that I do get angry with

Him because I have no one else to blame !!! God does give me the support

and patience to get through each day. She asked how 'difficult' our lives

were. I told her that I did not consider my life difficult. I have a child

who can have bad days and be difficult at times, but I did not consider my

life difficult. NOW.....before everyone gets upset, remember that I have my

child on those meds!!!! Several yrs. ago, I could not have said that !!!!

Gareth has really progressed in leaps and bounds behavior wise.

Donna............sorry to hear that Maddie is so sick. I cannot begin to

imagine dealing with that. I would have been in the ER long before now. FIX

MY KID, NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW........for some

fun.......Maureen.......I went to my meeting last night. I stayed in the

hotel (by myself). Would you all believe that I was up all night worrying

about someone breaking into the room !!!!! THANKS ALOT to whoever posted

that bit about people coming into your rooms while you sleep !!!!!!!!! For

the first time in years I get to sleep by myself, and I worry all night long

!!!!!!!!! Sorry this is so long........thanks again, everyone. Love you

all,

Margaret
