Dear Tonya;

May God bless you with peace in all things, and healing for your Mommy's

heart. I pray for you and all us ladies here, that the Lord will look upon

our hearts, and provide all things we need for life and godliness, and

blessings of fruit of our womb. I truly believe the Lord's hand is in all of

this, and that it pleases Him to see a doctor and a group of families that

are committed to this in their very core of their being. I pray we are all

able to be at peace as the Lord provides the finances, for the awesome Dr,

that HE has already provided for us all here.

Not to scare you but this is some info I have have found abt

it ............ when the testicles are not directly treated,

decreased sperm production and motility may lead to sterility. In

addition, there is the potential for genetic damage, which could

result in birth defects in future offspring. In these situations,

storing sperm in a sperm bank prior to the onset of radiation

treatment is a reasonable solution if a family is desired in the

future.

That is from wedmd.com http://my.webmd.com/content/article/1680.50264

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I was looking for any info that might

make this easier and less stressful. I really appreciate your help. Guess I

can stop crying now. Who needs anything else to worry about.

Welcome to the group Glenda. I can tell that you and your dh really have a

heart for children. It takes a special person to be able to take in other

peoples children and care for them as your own. God will reward you for

that! I will pray for your baby that was taken by his birth mother. The

word says that those who are in Christ Jesus are redeemed from the curse of

the law, which includes having your children taken from you, so stand on

God's word to have your baby back, as well as having a child of your own

together.

God Bless you,

B

Clara:

I have a 6 year old grandson with aspergers. We live in Broward County

(right across the alley from you) and the schools here seem to provide a great

deal of assistance. My grandson is in a mainstream lst grade class with an

aide

assigned for him and he is doing ok. I don't know about Dade county(miami

area) we lived there before moving to broward but he wasn't in school yet. Good

luck.

Hi amanda,

i experienced the same thing with prozac, but it doesn't sound as

extreme as what your describing, things just didn't feel like they

were real anymore. i think it went away lol, or i just got used to

it. no no i think it went away. it may take awhile though. check

out the files section it you haven't already its got some good ideas

on coping and fortifing the body with nutrients and all that good

stuff.

Another medication would not make it go away. it would just add more

problems. you may have a bit of a journey ahead of you but think of

it as a challenge.
