I understand the frustration. It is hard watching the other kids do activities that I used to just take for granted, yet I am so glad that I do have children who are perfectly healthy. I worry that she will really want to do something just like her big sisters or brother, but not be able to do it. So far she is physically normal. She does fall a lot, but I do not know if it is the start to something or not. I try just to keep her as normal as possible. I, like you, try to reward the accomplishment no matter how small it may be to someone else. I worry about labels a lot. As soon as someone hears that she is ill, it is hard to keep them from looking at her differently. I know she will always have her special needs, but hopefully we can "hide" them the best we can to give her a normal childhood. I am so excited because she is finally old enough to start real speech therapy. I am praying that they are able to get her talking, because right now that is the only noticeable thing with her right now. (We try to hide the g tube under big shirts, nobody has noticed yet!) Best of wishes for all your children. I hope Asthena recovers from her stroke this week, fully and quickly.
