Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Jackie, I'm going to respond to this because I myself am a Christian. (As a side note, I'm glad this discussion came up because it's nice to hear of so many fellow believers on this listserve.) My faith has always been number one. It has grown ten fold since my son Christian was born at 33 weeks gestation and weighing 2# 1oz. I'm not offended by your post of questioning peoples decisions on GHT or g-tube. The wording was a bit raw, but ok. I am offended by your opinion of our religious views. My husband was a non-believer before our son was born. And I'm sure there are many out there who may not practice a certain religion but have been found praying their heads off about one aspect of RSS or another. I have read many parents posts about whether or not to do GH or do a G-Tube. My son is not on either, yet. Maybe he will be, but whatever we decide to do is because that is what we prayed about and is what God told us to do. This is not the place to question a person's faith or what God instructed them to do. I just had my son in the ER on Monday night b/c he had a fever of 105. All I did was pray and pray. Amazingly, he was not seizing or acting " funny. " I believe God protected him. But that is my personal belief. I wouldn't expect someone on here to post to me that I shouldn't have taken him to the hospital b/c God told me to. Or because they drs. would make him uncomfortable. I value the opinions on here almost more than I value my drs. I ask a question and I get so many caring and knowledgable people answering me. Does this mean that I take that advice and do it? Not necessarily. I take it and I combine it with my own ideas, my drs. ideas and my prayer time with God. Then I do what I feel is what God intended. I applaud you for being on the listserve and asking your questions but please leave issues of faith out of it. This is a touchy subject to persons who do not have children with RSS. I believe it multiplies for us that do. This listserve is for support. Let's support each other in anyway we can instead of causing angst amongst ourselves. Thank you, mom to ,6, (non-RSS) and Christian, 3, (RSS), 21#11oz., Zantac and Pericatin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
