Thank you for sharing your journey. Our family was “normal” before a distracted driver ran a red light, injuring my daughter and me a few months ago. I’m ok now, but she was only a month old at the time and sustained severe brain injury, however she’s still too young for us to understand what that means in terms of her abilities. We are living the life you describe – tube feedings, doctor visits and SO much therapy! It feels very lonely at times, because aside from Children’s, I don’t see families that look like ours. Your family is beautiful, and I’d never known we had this in common had you not shared this. It gives me hope that maybe someday our lives will be more normal, too. Thank you!

Oh you’re so welcome. And I am so sorry for what you are going through. It is so hard at times but, as my mom always said, God chose you and only you to be your child’s mother. There was something comforting and empowering knowing that. I don’t know if you’ve ever read the devotional “Streams in the Desert” – it’s an old book but has been such a help to me in difficult and lonely times. Thank you so much for commenting and sharing a bit of your story. I appreciate it so much.

Thank you so much for posting this. Im one of the mommys still in the midst of figuring it all out. Lots of therapy and unanswered questions. Lots still unknown. Trying my best to be normal, and so often feeling alone. So grateful for your words and encouragement. Your family is just beautiful!
