Grandparents worries

[Guest guest]

Hi to all the Grandparents from OZ

We have had Torin in hospital twice this week. First in and out for Botox again.

Then yesterday for his Cochlear Implant again. I did not know that the magnet in

his head could move. it took the surgeon over an hour to reposition it. So rare

an occurance that there was not even a Medicare number for it.

We watch our babies go through things time and again. We help the parents and I

for one feel like a third wheel sometimes. i sit and get food or watch and play

with the little one to give my daughter time to go to the toilet. I know we do a

valuable job but I so wish I could do more for my little darling.

For all those who are helping like I am all my best wishes.

Grandma Carol, Torin 4 PMG. Deaf, Hemi, and other stuff but no seisures, and my

wonderful little redhead.

Grandma Carol...... you are Awesome!   What you are doing for your

daughter....is so very very helpful.   Even though sometimes  you feel as if

you are a '3rd wheel'...trust me...you are not.  I miss my Mother dearly as we

had to move from California, where she lives,  to Texas for my husband's job. 

She was able to accompany us on many hospital/doctor visits.  Just being able

to go to the restroom, grab a snack and most importantly....having someone close

by that loves your child as much as you do....is so comforting.  I remember my

Mom saying.....what can I do to help.  I would always tells you..... " just being

here, is helping me so much " !     Sweet Torin....was born into a lovely

family.
