Feel blessed In past posts, I've had my struggles and challenges and as time has permitted, my situation with my son has improved. The journey with meds was a disaster and now its at a happy medium. I've been able to focus on other things and start a local support group. I've found my calling and while its not money-making, its my purpose to help others and doing this I feel so good. My son still has struggles, but not everyday like it was and for that , I feel blessed. I was once isolated from the world as I entered his world, but now have forseen a world of opportunity and hope. I want to let you all know, God does answer prayer and he knows of our struggles and sometimes we have to go through some obstacles to become the person that we're suppose to be and for that we are stronger and our purpose in life is seen more clearly. I am so thankful to all who have been there when, I needed an extra ear, advice and consoling. I wish you all, A MERRY CHRISTMAS and always know there is a purpose for us all and that little tug is God's way of showing us the way. May all of our children be blessed with good health and may we be given strength and endurance to face everyday. Much love to you all!!!    JOY So glad to hear that things are going better.  Merry Christmas to you as well. Shannon    thank you!AWE, Joy, what a heartwarming story.  Merry Christmas to you and yours, too!  Merry Christmas to you and your family too Joyful Mysh Thanks Joy.  What you said is very true.  When I am having a bad day and start to cry and ask God "why me", I try to remember that God definantly has a plan for me.  I tell myself that God chose me to have Emily because he knew I would love her and take care of her and in the end that I could handle it.  It's been 1 year since her diagnosis, and we've definantly had some hard days, but I can honestly say it has gotten better.  The good days definantly out number the bad and I'm just trying my best to not dwell on what we don't have and think about what we do have and what a blessing she is to our life!  Even on the hardest days I could not simply imagine my life without my little girl!  Merry Christmas!! Merry Christmas, Joyful! Linda
