Re: gift/Diagnosis question

[Guest guest]

Sara,

If I may butt in here......I will give you the advise of a wise friend of mine

who's daughter was diagnosed a few years before . When I told her that I

was upset about the upcoming first anniversary of 's diagnosis.

You may just try looking at that date in a different way. If you had not gotten

the info you did, when you did, Zach would be a very sick kid right now. Be

thankful for the day that you got a diagnosis, think of it not as a dark day but

as a day of rebirth (no, I do not mean that in a religious way! LOL) Be

thankful that your son was diagnosed, unlike so many kids who go through their

lives sick and get little or no treatment for this illness. Be thankful that

you live in a country where you can get the meds that your child needs, not

somewhere that doesn't have the resources to give Zach the best medical care

possible. Maybe you can use that day just to appreciate what you have as a

family and not dwell on the way you felt at diagnosis.

Just some advice that I was given. And yes, it did help me, so I hope it helps

you a bit.

Re: jax florida mystery gift/Diagnosis question

Sue,

I did not send the gift, but read the end of your post and wanted to

comment on something else. You said your daughter was diagnosed on

christmas eve. How do you handle that? We are quickly approaching

the 1st anniversary of Zach's diagnosis. It is a sad day and I was

curious how you handle the diagnosis being so close to a holiday.

We are trying to plan a day trip to get our minds off of it.

YOU, Sara did not spam anyone, but you may need to do computer main

tenance, update virus definitions, possibly resubscribe to your virus-scan

program and be aware that Yahoo reads as spam any posts sent in a series

with the same subject line; they are protecting Yahoo and us from Mydoom

(Novarg) virus, which is a computer catastrophe for entire networks, which

Yahoo is. You can download a fix or patch for the Mydoom virus, and go from

there. We are all still speaking here! Love, n--you get the patch from

Microsoft.com or call your computer manufacturer; there IS life after spam!

The funny thing about this coming back as spam to me is that I changed the

subject line a bit so it wouldn't spam anyone! Oh, well! that's what I get for

trying! anyway, read what I said about dx anniversaries, Sara!
