When you are expecting a child what do you think of? smiles, nappies, the joy of a new life to fill your days? Well so did I in 2003, this is the story of my children, how their lives have been dramatically altered. my life went from thinking about bottles and nappies and smiles and watching as my little critter learned, to a hellish nightmare of hospitals, diagnoses, fear, dread and at times utter desolation. I grieved for the child I thought I was going to have from the time I heard those words until now, I will always have a sense of grief with missed milestones that I know will never happen for Liam. I also know a sense of great joy at watching some of the things he manages to learn despite his disability, things they never said he would do, I have helped him to achieve, even if for only one day. My son and his brother and sister are the real reason I chose to Blog. to share with them their triumphs and their struggles, to retell a story I wish I didnt have to.
Some say writing is theraputic, hopefull this will do a better job that any councellor ever has...
