Ivy C Re: Re: thoughts on researcher comment

[Guest guest]

I'm all for finding out why but it doesn't really effect the here and now for

us. and blaming yourself is a complete waste of time. there are no re-dos - we

are what we are and we simply need to focus on making the best of it. all the

time spent on the pity parties is time better spent with your kid - making the

best of it.

ps - i think part of the reason it's now 'an epedemic' is that our ob's and

neo units are saving more lives early on and there are more kids that survive

now that wouldn't have years ago. had my son's kidney issues not been resolved

early on, he wouldn't be here today to know that he is autistic.
