I remember one time a doc told us "you're trying so hard to have kids and when you finally do, you'll want to give them back." He thought he was being funny.

My daughter can now take occasional unassisted steps and has a walker that she uses - her therapist believes that the new SMOs will give her the stability and confidence to stand and possibly even take a few more steps. :) I will check out your blog to learn more about your son!Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16809949267562980590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103996349268714640.post-21990007968858740342011-05-03T10:37:59.841-04:002011-05-03T10:37:59.841-04:00I just found your blog.

We went through several rounds of bracing before seeing a physiatrist and getting a set that we are finally beginning to see some progress with. I share a lot of your frustrations. We have been expecting our son to walk any day now for the past 2 years.<br /><br />JennaJohn and Jenna Gensichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404726548055060185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103996349268714640.post-4356946381973516092011-05-01T19:12:46.539-04:002011-05-01T19:12:46.539-04:00Glad the sense returns.

I had a similar experience when I had laryngitis, and spent a lot of time thinking about how easily I blurt out thing, how it was a gift, how I should appreciate it and perhaps use it a bit more wisely. We really do forget how much we have sometimes.<br /><br />I have been blessed to know a few kids, including your own, who have really made me think about expectations, in children and in life. And like you said, not just special needs, but in general. I see pregnant women with What to Expect and I think, really? You think a book is going to clear up your expectations? Good luck. But if there we such a book, with a map of my life for me, would I open it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
