Re: convention presentations - Chat to Debby

[Guest guest]

Debby,

I remember sitting in the presentations last year hearing the same

thing. Looking back at all the signs of hypoglycemia that Matt had

that no one could tell me what was wrong, and remembering being

thankful for a baby who slept all night. NOW - hindsight being

20/20, I should have been waking him up and feeding him.

And yes, being in the same boat. Dealing with behaviours and

school issues and OT issues and feeding that ALL would have been

better with early intervention and FOOD.

I was mad for a long time. But the reality is, we do the best we

can with what we are given. It helps me to know that I can help

others. I have a friend right now with premature twins in eary

intervention that I encourage at every turn. Early help is so much

better than trying to fix it all later.

Bottom line, please do not be hard on yourself. You are a great

Mom, and Adam is a lucky kid to have you in his life, fighting for

him. Now and Then! All we can do is go forward, help others before

they are in our situation, and strive to improve things for our kids.

Life is rarely easy and those who have life easy, never really

appreciate it!

Hang in there!
