I'm in that place now too and it is often a minute by minute battle in the mind. I liked what one of the moms said in her comment about lighting up when they come into the room! It does speak LOVE. I'm praying for Wyndham's swimming therapy to encourage her (and you and Chip!)BT Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982770388197802618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-27301679354807821352011-06-15T21:46:46.566-04:002011-06-15T21:46:46.566-04:00Somewhere I read or heard that one of the best gif...Somewhere I read or heard that one of the best gifts you can give your kids is to let your face light up when they walk into the room, so that they can look at you and see "Mom loves me; she thinks I'm special." More important than taking them places or giving them things, or . . . anything.<br /><br />Practicing this has gotten me over the hump many a time when I've felt like I just wasn't doing much else right!Jan C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11503570740770226069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-708729971840951772011-06-15T11:27:04.197-04:002011-06-15T11:27:04.197-04:00will keep this in my prayers jody!! sounds like yo...will keep this in my prayers jody!! sounds like you may have found something that will work, though!!! your kids are beautiful, btw!! :)jo@blog-diggidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822441920980608824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-2672009930888473702011-06-15T10:56:09.987-04:002011-06-15T10:56:09.987-04:00Jodi, I think the guilt may be a woman thing as we...Jodi, I think the guilt may be a woman thing as well as a mom thing.

I didn't have 6 kids..only 2 but I certainly struggled for years and years. I have to say...it does get better, it honestly does!!!<br />As for your daughter and her special needs---my heart goes out to you and your husband (and to her). The water therapy may do wonders, I have to say. I've been water-walking now for over a year and it has done wonders for me and my "needs" aren't anything like hers. I had a badly broken ankle and no P.T. (this happened 4 years ago) and once I began to water-walk my range of motion improved AND the puffiness (that a doctor told me I'd have forever) went away!!! I don't know what your daughter does in her therapy but I just wanted to try to give you some hope! I do pray for you and I KNOW God hears ALL of our prayers even when we think they're bouncing back at us off the ceiling. Blessings to your dear Jody!!! Don't be so hard on yourself!!! <3<br />WSLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-63716322619980252502011-06-14T11:11:05.699-04:002011-06-14T11:11:05.699-04:00The mom guilts must be in full swing right now.

It is hard always questioning whether your doing to right thing for your children? Are they getting everything that they need or deserve? At the end of the day when you lay your head down for a night of rest a person just has to take peace in the fact that she did her best that day. Because even though were mom's we are still human.<br /><br />Whatever happens with Wyndham will be the right decision for her and your family. She is a tough little cookie and will get through this.<br /><br />Keep your spunk! xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03740260622611866834noreply@blogger.com
