going back to work..

[Guest guest]

We have survived the first week of 's first casting..wheww. She is doing so well!!! However, its been so hot we could not leave the house. I never thought going to the grocery store alone could be so exciting .. So,just wondering if any moms ( or dads) felt anxiety over sending their child back to daycare. I go back on the 18th and is in private daycare. Did the kiddos adjust quickly?? Did you give the daycare folks a list of things to watch out for and or do differently? Just some feedback would be helpful..Oh and my best friend commented last week during a lunch playdate that "her daughter has plenty of other friends with disabilities, this is no big deal." I almost choked on my

chicken salad...Ughhh

mom to , 16 mo, 53 curve, first cast down to 30

I forgot to mention one of the Chicago moms is a gymnastics coach and her sweet girl Makenna still participates. Hopefully Amy will Chime in on her experience. She is a wonderful advocate for her daughter. Sent from my iPhone

With Amaya's first casting soon approaching I am beginning to become both nervous and hopeful all at the same time. I look at this beautiful little active girl with such a zest for life and all it has to offer. To look at her no one would know anything was wrong (her pediatrician didn't I had to call several times to get her an appt.) I wonder to myself will this casting work, will she be able to dance and do gymnastic and not miss out on anything life has to offer. No one seems to understand how I feel. With Amaya's being the youngest of 5 children she seems to love to do what they all participate in. She loves to dance, will she ever be able to.. she loves to tumble, will she when she grows up. Everyone seems to think this is all I care about, it isn't, of course I want to make sure I make the right choices for her and give her the best possible life I can. I want her to grow and experience all life has to offer. I don't want her sitting on the

bleachers or in the crowd wondering why she can't fo those things.We met with Dr. Rubery at Strong (does anyone else go here)and he highly recommended this casting. We had contacted Shriner's as well but with us being lucky enough to have this available to us an hour away we decided to proceed here. Maybe I am just thinking to much..I have read where many families are not able to go to the casting together, I must say the Oral Surgeons I work for and the small kitchen company my husband works for are the best. I was called and given the date for Amaya's first casting and not once did they hesitate, I was told ok dont worry about a thing we will make it work. They are amazing. I wish all of you parents could have that type of situation and not have to worry about a thing.Thanks for listeningTammyAmaya's mom, 21 months curve of 45* in May 1st casting July
