I've always been impressed with your knowledge of all the things that poor Caleb has had to deal with. So way to go! I agree that doc's don't know everything!!! I always get scared of the ones that think they do! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you! I'm sorry things have been rough lately!!!

I just started a website for moms called "The Power of Moms," and I was wondering if you would be interested in writing a piece for our "Mom's Journal" section regarding moms with children that have special needs. You seem like such a great mom, and I think others could learn from you. Please take a look at our site when you get a chance and email me with any questions--april@powerofmoms.com.

I've only been dealing one "healthy" child for 2 1/2 years and I've run into so many frustrations with doctors. My faith in the medical systems lessens as the years and experiences go on. It's also lessened as I've seen some high school people become doctors and I think, 'Are you kidding me!?!?' Glad the surgery went well. That's a relief! Hope to see you sometime soon!bribetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747708084933882775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528605750584725491.post-24099833444400426802008-03-19T16:22:00.000-07:002008-03-19T16:22:00.000-07:00I am so glad that Holden survived and even happier...I am so glad that Holden survived and even happier to hear YOU survived. I'm telling you, he is going to sleep so much better. You will love it. As for doctors--I've all but given up. Braley is the ONLY girl under the age of 12 in the USA with her problems and then I have lame doctors tell me things like "the last time I saw a patient with these problems..." YOU have NEVER seen a patient like her. The frustration. Good luck, hang in there, enjoy a bunch of popcicles.Dana and ohanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345528105371177742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528605750584725491.post-7411008686503806962008-03-19T14:10:00.000-07:002008-03-19T14:10:00.000-07:00Good to hear the surgery went well!

It is amazing! But, it was hard to keep certains food away from him that would scratch his throat. So, I wish you the best of luck! As for Caleb- I know what you mean. A few summers ago, Carter had a rash around his mouth so I took him to the dr. and wondered if it was hand,foot,mouth disease. He brushed it off and said no. Well, with in two days there were more spots on his hands and feet, and so I took him back and yep I was right! He asked if I wanted to come to work. :-) I hope he gets to feeling better, no fun with two sick kids!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076678635880604895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528605750584725491.post-14027353087005953602008-03-19T13:34:00.000-07:002008-03-19T13:34:00.000-07:00Poor Holden...poor Mandy, and POOR Caleb!
