Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Sarabeth- Welcome! It sounds like Hope is doing beautifully and that you have taken care of a lot of issues already. My daughter is 9 yrs old and in the 3rd grade. She has one eye with near normal vision and one with minimal vision. She has had a moderate-severe loss in one ear and near normal hearing in the other. This fall, she had middle ear surgery which has dramatically improved the hearing in her bad ear. We're not yet done with the healing process so I don't know how that story will end. She had a G-tube til she was about 1.5 yrs old. She had severe GE reflux but we managed it with meds and positioning until she outgrew it -so she did not have a fundo. She's had bilateral hip reconstruction and lots of ear and eye surgeries. She had an aorta repair as a newborn but is free of heart issues now. Aubrie is a doll who capture the hearts of everyone she meets. She loves cooking and music. She runs, plays, dances, talks, sings, etc. All the things I worried she'd never do, she is doing. Ok - except riding a bike. She can't quite get that down. Oh well. :-) So. keep your hope for Hope! She will amaze you as she grows. Once all of the medical problems are managed, she will be able to spend more energy on developing and learning. Since you've named your kids Faith and Hope, I don't think it'll be a problem for you!! It's obvious that you get that part. And, judging from all of the things you've already managed for Hope, your attitude and perseverance is paying off. We're so glad to have you join our CHARGE family! Have you found the CHARGE manual on the Foundation website?? If not, you'll want to take a look at that. And - do you know about the conference in California this summer??

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Sarabeth, Welcome to the listserv...can't wait to hear/see more about Hope. Our daughter Kennedy had the fundo at 6 months and it was WONDERFUL. Great news that she has her hearing aids in so early too.

ASD PDA heart defects Chronic lung oxygen 2litre depend...hoping to ween a little in the summer. SUCTION 24/7 drives me crazy!! Severe hypotonia just managing to sit up with a support round the back. Fundo failed miserably and caused a couple of pulmonary arrestsblast winter, but thats history Amelie won the battle!! Jejunostomy fed we like this one apart from the diarrohea!! Facial palsy, failed videofluroscopy. No communication orally, but tons of wiggles giigles and smiles, makes up for her silence.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Wow I bet that subject line has never been used LOL! Seriously, I am new here. Recently both of my therapists, my primary T and my trauma T, have suggested that they think my mother is BP, I guess the term here is nada. Obviously they cannot dx her having not seen her themselves, but are basing this on what I've told them. My trauma T suggested I read " Walking On Eggshells " . It was like the book was written about my mother. I am also going thru the workbook. I was dx'd with PTSD due to childhood abuse from both my nada and my father (nonBP)as well as traumas from other incidents growing up. After 2 long, hard and painful years of therapy I now no longer fit the dx for PTSD just GAD, YAY! None of that is really here nor there, just info on me. I do however still deal with my nada, though it is limited contact. We live in different states and I only speak with her on Fridays on the phone. And then only if she is in a rational state. I am trying my best not to let her trigger me back into full fledged PTSD symptoms. My trauma T suggested that I join this forum for support as it is so easy for me to feel FOG with my nada. She is the typical BP manipulating con-artist that twists everything back on other people. She used to be very high functioning, but began a steady decline a couple of years ago. In fact I was NC with her for 10 years and only started communicating with her 3 years ago. The first year was fine and then BAM....the viper started showing up and spitting her poison. Anyway, I hope to find and be a support here. If you've read this far...thanks, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks for the warm welcome Anuria. I kind of figured that there would be others here with c-ptsd. Growing up with a nada or fada is very traumatic. In fact I really wonder how anybody could grow up in that atmosphere and not have it. Though I have other traumas that may have been the capstone of it all. BTW...I actually have changed my identity on this forum to horselover.lauren. I finally figured out that I could have two yahoo addresses on the same account so I don't have to sign in and out all the time ;o) Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for responding. > > > > Hi All, > > I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself. Not sure if this site is for me. I have a Nada which resulted in having PTSD. I've been in intensive therapy for 2 years now and recently have been told by both my Ts that my PTSD is in remission and been redx'd as having GAD. I am so happy to have come this far. Even so it's still tough as anyone with a BPD person in their life knows. > > > > I have strict boundaries with my Nada such as limited contact. I live 2 states away from her and only speak to her on Fridays and that is only if she is in a state of mind that is reasonable. Unfortunately that part of her is rarely around these days. I don't return voicemails that are viscous or when it's obvious she has been drinking and if she starts in during a conversation I politely excuse myself. Even so, the voicemails and those times I have to excuse myself leave me shaking. I am trying very hard not to let my PTSD symptoms flare up again. > > > > My trauma T suggested that this website my be a good support for me. I have belonged to the PTSD forum for almost 2 years and have found that to be a tremendous support. Many of the people there with C-PTSD have BPD parents so there is some understanding with my situation.
