I pray daily that God heals James. I also...Bonnie,<br />I pray daily that God heals James. I also pray for strength for you, Travis, and the kids. I'm not sure if you recall what happened with our 4th child Abigail. But let me tell you this, although you may be stressed and overwhelmed, you & Travis will become closer than you can imagine(it will be very trying at times).<br /><br />You may feel this is the absolute WORST thing in the world, but better days are to come and good thing things WILL come out of this-if you open yourself up to it and allow it to happen. James will change your lives forever. Because of him you will look at the world differently and appreciate things you may have once taken for granted or never noticed. <br /><br />Do not be afraid to seek out support groups or counseling. It helps tremendously with coping and dealing with day to day emotions and feelings. You are not alone. Others have went through similar circumstances and can help you through difficult times.<br /><br />If you become too overwhelmed, saddened, and depressed please seek your doctor's advice(I had to in order to be able to care for our 3 other children at the time) I never would've thought I would have the strength to have 2 more healthy children after the tragedy(the head mother at St. Francis knew & actually told me I would have more children) <br /><br />There is nothing you could've done to prevent this. Do not feel guilty. It was already in His plans. Now is the time to lean on Him. He is there for you. And He will help you through. Your faith will grow unbelievably stronger as time goes by(although you may have your doubts now).<br /><br />Nobody will completely understand you until they walk in your shoes.<br /><br />My best advice(if you'd like it)is- talk about, write about it- any form of getting your emotions & feelings out. Do not keep them bottled up. The people who know and love you will always understand no matter how many times they hear about it.<br /><br />Praying for you all,<br />~AngelAngelsAccentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046313759253080232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763777887807344904.post-4804490255908428092010-10-12T15:14:29.641-05:002010-10-12T15:14:29.641-05:00I will pray for you and your precious little boy!I will pray for you and your precious little boy!Carlahttp://Dobspc@aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763777887807344904.post-18362025825544285562010-10-12T14:58:04.835-05:002010-10-12T14:58:04.835-05:00Praying for all. Don't feel guilty... it is O...Praying for all. Don't feel guilty... it is OK to let those who love you do the believing for you. James is so lucky to have a mom like you and on 9/12/2011 you will look back and be amazed at everything you have learned how to do in 12 months time. <br /><br />Remember the first one and how that felt. In many ways parenting a special needs baby is like parenting your first born all over again. Over the months you learn the art of it, and not only can you get it done right, it becomes a joy. You have what it takes! It takes love, which you have in abundance.Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7763777887807344904.post-25341840910929606622010-10-12T14:50:38.355-05:002010-10-12T14:50:38.355-05:00Bonnie: When I was in a place where I could not ha...Bonnie: When I was in a place where I could not have faith and hope, my friend told me, "Don't worry, we have enough faith and hope for you." <br /><br />Be like the paralytic man whose two friends had to carry him to the house where Jesus was at. Then they had to heave him up on the roof, then they had to CUT through the roof. Finally they lowered him down at the feet of Jesus. at some point in our lives, we will all be like that paralytic man. Paralyzed with fear/grief despair and others will have to carry us to Jesus.<br /><br />In the meantime, when you are scared, you need to say "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I reject Fear. In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray for the Spirit of Hope." Super important. You are not a passive observer here. You have power, so start tapping into it. <br /><br />If God so chooses to heal your son, He will. If not, He will still be present and He will give you sufficient Grace. Remember, His Grace is made Perfect in your weakness. <br /><br />God bless. One hour at a time. Make sure you reject the fear. It is not of God. And you know where I have been.
