(Wow…is that a run-on sentence or what!?!) Too often, I felt like no one really understood how bad things are or how dangerously close I was to falling apart. Doose truly is a big, bad beast that affects the whole family. Its burden is almost too much to bear, but I’m so thankful that Jade has YOU to help her through this. Many parents wouldn’t make the sacrifices you guys have made. You make Jade’s keto meals, spend time thinking of creative new recipes to give her the opportunity to taste something different (even if it’s only the same of a pea!), you’re sleep-deprived from having a baby, when you DO sleep, it’s with one ear ‘open’ to listen for seizures, you are constantly doing medical research online, and you still have to wear all the other hats…mom, homeowner, wife, friend, etc. I KNOW how tired you are, but I want to let you know there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Evan was REALLY struggling cognitively. The docs were reminding us that he could suffer from retardation. But…we started homeschool for kindergarten this year. Each month that we see seizure freedom, we see more and more improvement. He’s already ahead of the students in my mother’s public school kindergarten. (I don’t say that to brag, just to give you hope.) And I also worry about whether or not I’ll be dealing with this all over again with Reagan, but all we can do is pray. You’re an amazing mom. And an amazing friend. You don’t know how many times I have read your blog just to know that someone else knew what I was going through. You’re an inspiration. Thank You!

It sounds like you’re out of your funk for now. That damn diet sucks, right? But it also works….5 to 1 is scary. Good luck to you and Jade. a friendly little fish named Dory keeps singing in my head “just keep swimming, just keep swimming”

It’s all we can do.

P.S. I waited nine months before I let my third baby cry it out at night. It only took two nights…then slept thru the night from then on.

Mommas need to sleep, especially special needs mommas…

You cannot help the nagging fear, which I think every mother suffers no matter what “conditions” her children do or don’t have. You, unfortunately, have more vivid things to fear than those of us who simply have that nameless dread that something will not be right with our children. But you should also know that we out here support you and feel for you. You are NOT ALONE. Take whatever time you need, but don’t feel that you have to wait until cheer and bravado take over before you can write again. Write what you need and what you want. And we will be here to help buoy you up when you need it.
