Guest guest Posted April 11, 1999 Report Share Posted April 11, 1999 Hello All, Today as I try to make things make sense in my mind re my daughter, I can't help but wonder if I should ever have had children. I realize that I didn't know about RLS or Narcolepsy or any physical ailments other than my hayfever when I was having my babies, but I feel so guilty. I am looking at my daughter today and there's so much sadness on her face, so much uncertainty and it's just really bumming me out. She'll have to take meds for the rest of her life and at the present, we don't know if she'll be able to drive. Wow, at 16 yrs old, that's like the only thing they think about, except boys I'm sure that I'm being the over protective mother, but I just can't help these feelings.Even my 10 yr old. Last night when I checked on them, he was half off the bed, his blankets were all over the place, and I realized that he's next to go to the sleep clinic and who knows what will happen with that. He is always irritable, moody and could use naps, if only he'd fall asleep. That poor child has the worst time trying to get to sleep, and staying asleep. All this because this is heriditary. I realize that there are worse things that they could have inherited, but I'm sure you'd agree that sleep disorders are no fun.With the symptoms that they're exhibiting now, I can only guess what the future will hold. I suppose my only consulation is in the fact that I'm catching these things now, and hopefully things will straighten themselves out. I want them to enjoy their childhood as much as possible. God willing they will. Thanks for listening le R.I. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
