from a car accident, he is 25 and can't always control his temper and yelled at me which caused me to be even more nervous/upset and then I had a huge panic attack.

Hi ! I prayed for you and Gabe and your family. I've been praying for everyone in this group. I dont' know about religion in this group but my faith is what helps me keep going! I'm sooo sorry you have depression and pray that you can find some joy in your life! Are you taking meds for your depression? I take seroquel (it's a med for schizophrenia which I dont' have but called the new 'miracle pill' by the dr who helped save my son's life 2 years ago) because I cant' take antidepressants: I have severe colitis. I know a lot of people who get relief with Prozac etc. We are like then, in that even tho we suffer, we keep going for our kids etc. It's VERY hard for me right now with my anxiety so high but hopefully later I can take my seroquel. When my asthma/allergies are this bad, I cant' take it so I have to just keep busy. I too love my kids sooo much! But 3 are gone, now I only have 1. How many do you have? I have 4, 2 sons, 2

daughters, God and has blessed me! My eldest Mike, is 31 and engaged to his sweet gal, Colleen, Kristy is 27, and just moved out, Tom is almost 26 and lives with me and Vickie is 19 and in Rome, Italy, studying abroad. She was born on my 32nd birthday and we have been VERY close so her leaving is the hardest but she'll be back 5/8. My kids were my world but now that they are gone, I have to reinvent myself. I try to balacne my days between work, religous studies, housework, doing for others, having fun and exercise. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR SWEET WORDS AND SYMPATHY! THEY MEAN SOOO MUCH! YOU ARE A GREAT WOMAN AND MOM AND YOUR KIDS ARE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE YOU! How are you doing today? How is Gabe? I pray that his asthma gets better so you can feel better too! Sickness effects the whole family but for me, I grew up with it: I was born with allergies/sickly. My cousins on my Dad's side also so it genetic and my Dad was sickly later in life. All we can do is do the best we can

I guess, and try to find some joy in our lives. I wish you all the best!

Hi ! I'm sooo sorry that you are tense and worried about your health! I prayed for you and Gabe and pray that you both feel better! It's VERY hard to be sick/depressed AND take care of a sick child! I know! I've been there and am still doing it! My son Tom, who got hit by a car, has brain damage and my daughter Vickie has a rare blood disease and doesn't always think clearly! It's very hard for me not to worry about them but worrying too much makes me sicker so I do a lot of praying and have faith that my kids and I will be ok. I've had to take meds 4 times today to stop my colitis because my nerves are soooo bad and it rained a lot last night but I feel more relaxed right now, thank God! Couneseling is helpful! I pray the counselor can help Gabe! My last therapist was wonderful and taught me a lot! I wish I could still see her but my insurance won't let me. Maybe I can save some $ and go see her and pay cash. Yes, poor Gabe

sure has a heavy load at such a young age! I sure feel for him and you and your family Honey! How are you today? Are you feeling better? How did the counseling go for Gabe? I have had a hard morning because of the colitis/crying because my daughters are gone which made the colitis worse. I just cant' seem to stop it so I take meds and watch dvd's. Any ideas on how to stop my emotions? I try but it just doensn't seem to work. Hopefully, it'll pass. I hope you are doing better!

today is an okay day. i got a really good first impression of gabes counselor. i hope things go well. just in the past couple of days he has had several outbursts and i hate that we have to force feed him some of his meds. i am trying to get my one year old to go to bed on her own. this is very hard it is only the second night and she has cried so hard but i know it is my fault for not starting this earlier with her. i just liked the feeling of rocking her to sleep at night but the dr said that is not good for her. i never got to do things like that with my oldest i was only 17 so i was to busy between school and work and gabe was so sick i don't remember much. my emotions have been a bit up and down the past couple of days. hope your meds make you feel better. i used to not like the idea that i had to take meds to feel "normal" be it because of depression or something else but i just want to feel better. i

am still taking the antibiotic for my female problem and i really don't think it is helping. i will probally call the dr monday or tuesday. i cry a lot to. i cry because i am scared for my health , my relationship and my son and my daughters. today we went and saw curious george. it was me and my mom and my oldest daughter and gabe. i couldn't help but think while he was lying on my shoulder how much time i have left with him. don't get me wrong he isnot that ill right now i just worry. well i guess that is about all for now this has gotten a bit long and i have to be up early for work. thanks for caring. i am glad you have your faith, i lost mine. talk to you later. evelyn Dekoker <laura.dekoker@...> wrote: Hi !

Hi ! That's great that Gabe's counselor is good! That will help Gabe and you and your family! I'm VERY happy for you all! I'm VERY sorry about Gabe's outbursts and you having to force him to take meds! It's SOOOO hard! I know! I've had to do it with my kids! He is too young and sick to understand but he is VERY blessed to have you as his kind and loving and caring Mom! I don't understand why rocking a child to sleep is not good! I rocked mine and they grew up ok! Maybe you should go with YOUR instincts and what your child needs instead of listening to the dr. dr's don't know everything. They tell us what they are taught in med school. You have had and have now, a hard life Honey! I pray that you're life gets easier! I think you being emotional is only normal Honey! You have a lot on your plate! Feeling your emotions is better than trying not to at times, it's a release. I too am very emotional because of my daughter

being in Italy but can't let myself cry too much because I'll have an asthma attack! Thank you! My meds do help me when I can take them and I'm very grateful that I have been able to take them! It's raining again and rained last night but I've lost weight due to the colitis (it's ok, I can stand to lose some) so I was able to take meds on and off yesterday and just now. I'm glad that you can take meds and not feel bad about it! No one should have to suffer from depression if the meds help! I'm sooo sorry you are having female problems! I had them too but had hysterectomy 16 years ago. I hope your dr can help you! I understand that you cry. With all you are going thru it's only natural Honey. This time will pass and you will have good times! I'm glad you all went to see Curious ! My eldest son Mike used to have the stuffed animal and I used to read him the books. I dont' know that much about Gabe's disease. Is there good treatment for it? I hope he gets better so you

dont' have to worry! We Mom's worry, that's just the way it is. Try to give yourself some relief tho Honey cos too much worry can make you sicker. I'm here when ever you need me! I'm sooo sorry you lost faith, but I understand because I have lost mine too but now need it! How are things going today? How are you feeling now? How is Gabe and your 1 yr old? Did she sleep better? I hope so. I slept good but woke up with colitis but took 2 pills and will have to go back to bed for awhile. I've had to do this the past couple days. It's the rain and my nerves. It'll pass. I hope things get better for you!

we have to force feed him some of his meds. i am trying to get my one year old to go to bed on her own. this is very hard it is only the second night and she has cried so hard but i know it is my fault for not starting this earlier with her. i just liked the feeling of rocking her to sleep at night but the dr said that is not good for her. i never got to do things like that with my oldest i was only 17 so i was to busy between school and work and gabe was so sick i don't remember much. my emotions have been a bit up and down the past couple of days. hope your meds make you feel better. i used to not like the idea that i had to take meds to feel "normal" be it because of depression or something else but i just want to feel better. i am still taking the antibiotic for my female problem and i really don't think it is helping. i will probally call the dr monday or tuesday. i cry a lot to. i cry because i am scared for my

health , my relationship and my son and my daughters. today we went and saw curious george. it was me and my mom and my oldest daughter and gabe. i couldn't help but think while he was lying on my shoulder how much time i have left with him. don't get me wrong he isnot that ill right now i just worry. well i guess that is about all for now this has gotten a bit long and i have to be up early for work. thanks for caring. i am glad you have your faith, i lost mine. talk to you later. evelyn Dekoker <laura.dekoker@...> wrote: Hi ! I'm sooo sorry that you are tense and worried

about your health! I prayed for you and Gabe and pray that you both feel better! It's VERY hard to be sick/depressed AND take care of a sick child! I know! I've been there and am still doing it! My son Tom, who got hit by a car, has brain damage and my daughter Vickie has a rare blood disease and doesn't always think clearly! It's very hard for me not to worry about them but worrying too much makes me sicker so I do a lot of praying and have faith that my kids and I will be ok. I've had to take meds 4 times today to stop my colitis because my nerves are soooo bad and it rained a lot last night but I feel more relaxed right now, thank God! Couneseling is helpful! I pray the counselor can help Gabe! My last therapist was wonderful and taught me a lot! I wish I could still see her but my insurance won't let me. Maybe I can save some $ and go see her and pay cash. Yes, poor Gabe sure has a heavy load at such a young age! I sure feel for him and you and your family Honey! How

are you today? Are you feeling better? How did the counseling go for Gabe? I have had a hard morning because of the colitis/crying because my daughters are gone which made the colitis worse. I just cant' seem to stop it so I take meds and watch dvd's. Any ideas on how to stop my emotions? I try but it just doensn't seem to work. Hopefully, it'll pass. I hope you are doing better! Hugs! . evelyn <peaches0106@...> wrote: hi laura we are doing okay today. my tension level is high because i am worried about my health. gabe started counseling today so i hope that will be helpful. along with asthma he has cystic fibrosis so at six years old he has a lot to deal with. i am in the middle of dinner but i will talk more later. thanks so much. evelyn Dekoker <laura.dekoker@...> wrote: Hi ! I prayed for you and Gabe and your family. I've been praying for everyone in this group. I dont' know about religion in this group but my faith is what helps me keep going! I'm sooo sorry you have depression and pray that you can find some joy in your life! Are you taking meds for your depression? I take seroquel (it's a med for schizophrenia which I dont' have but called the new 'miracle pill' by the dr who helped save my son's life 2 years ago) because I cant' take antidepressants: I have severe colitis. I know a lot of people who get relief with Prozac etc. We are like then, in that

even tho we suffer, we keep going for our kids etc. It's VERY hard for me right now with my anxiety so high but hopefully later I can take my seroquel. When my asthma/allergies are this bad, I cant' take it so I have to just keep busy. I too love my kids sooo much! But 3 are gone, now I only have 1. How many do you have? I have 4, 2 sons, 2 daughters, God and has blessed me! My eldest Mike, is 31 and engaged to his sweet gal, Colleen, Kristy is 27, and just moved out, Tom is almost 26 and lives with me and Vickie is 19 and in Rome, Italy, studying abroad. She was born on my 32nd birthday and we have been VERY close so her leaving is the hardest but she'll be back 5/8. My kids were my world but now that they are gone, I have to reinvent myself. I try to balacne my days between work, religous studies, housework, doing for others, having fun and exercise. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR SWEET WORDS AND SYMPATHY! THEY MEAN SOOO MUCH! YOU ARE A GREAT WOMAN AND MOM AND YOUR KIDS ARE

VERY BLESSED TO HAVE YOU! How are you doing today? How is Gabe? I pray that his asthma gets better so you can feel better too! Sickness effects the whole family but for me, I grew up with it: I was born with allergies/sickly. My cousins on my Dad's side also so it genetic and my Dad was sickly later in life. All we can do is do the best we can I guess, and try to find some joy in our lives. I wish you all the best!

mother. feel free to post or email me anytime. keep us posted. evelyn Dekoker <laura.dekoker@...> wrote: HI EVELYN! I'm sooo very sorry about your son! I would like to pray for you and him, if this is ok. Please tell me his name. It must be VERY hard for you! My heart goes out to you and him and your family! Thank you! I got really bad this afternoon! My son had brain damage from a car accident, he is 25 and can't always control his temper and yelled at me which caused me to be even more nervous/upset and then I had a huge panic attack. Thank God I was able to take some seroquel to relax me. With both my girls gone, I am dealing with a lot of losses and it is hard for me to be alone/anxious and sick but I must be strong! My kids need me! How do you

manage Honey? I could use some advise! I try to keep busy but the anxiety knaws at me, now that it's been raining here and my asthma is bad. I hope that you have a good night! I so appreciate your e-mail!
