Jan, My son has been sick since Wednesday with a high fever, and I have been worried to death over him. I can't imagine what you're going through -- a fever seems like nothing compared to what you're going through with your daughter. But I know that moms want to be able to make everything okay for their kids. It hurts us when they hurt and we feel guilty because we can't make it all better. There are a lot of moms on this board, so you're in good company. We'll listen when you need to talk. You stay strong, and she'll stay strong.  |

Jan.....im so sorry to hear about your daughter...as a mother of four myself I know how hard it is when something happens to one of your children...my daughter had surgery when she was only 5 weeks old...its a really hard thing to watch all the doctors wheel your child down that long hall......you and your daughter will make it through this....hang tough and keep that smile on your face for your daughter she needs to see that........and just know that we all will be praying for a speedy recovery.....

I am really sorry to hear about your daughter's medical problem. She and you and your whole family are in my thoughts. I know how hard it is to have a sick little one...as a mom, worry and concern doesn't begin to describe the feeling.
Just know that we are all pulling for her to get better. And you have plenty of friends here to talk to when you need to.

Oh wow! No mother likes to see her child sick. It must be especially hard with a sick child in the hospital with a feeding tube. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank GOD for modern medicine though. With all that we have going for us these days, I am sure she will be up and running again real soon.
