You never want your children to have one moment's pain or discomfort and when you know exactly what they're in for, it's especially crummy. At least you know what to look out for and what your treatment options are. Emma has such a feisty spirit that I don't think she'll let anything stand in the way of her doing whatever she sets her mind to. <BR/><BR/>BTW, we did get the dress in time for Aerin's birthday (I'm shamefully late with all my thank-you notes). It was so beautiful on her, but she bled all over it. I'm working on getting the stains out, but since they're mixed with what can only be called "tumor juice," they can be very resistant to cleaning. I also have a box ready to send to y'all - I finally found something special for Bridey.Kira Marxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718204396326208058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30934073.post-1160236957319485682006-10-07T09:02:00.000-07:002006-10-07T09:02:00.000-07:00I have a good friend whose little boy has autism. ...I have a good friend whose little boy has autism. One of his friends theorized that the reason why we get these little boys and girls in our families is because our children were sweet and brave enough to volunteer to take one of the "broken bodies" for their time on earth. And that would be their burden while they're here, to teach other people how to love them (and each other).<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying your daughter's problems are as severe as autism - but they are hard to deal with and do make you struggle. <BR/><BR/>Isn't it great that she has a normal family with great parents? My parents are divorced too, and I'm getting a second chance at a good childhood through my kids. And though her problems are hard, you've been there before her and know what and what not to do for her. <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you and your family.Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673273777386297395noreply@blogger.com
