[tri-med] Re: Not a medical dictionary.... knowledge is power!

Jude,
Your site offered inspiration to me when we first learned about our little
one... I'll never forget showing it to the dr and he said, 'but that isn't
YOUR baby'... I had to hide the fact that I was secretly hopeful that Claire
would thrive... if I didn't hide it, my husband, family and drs would have
put me in an institution.
But seeing Kam gave me faith to know that it was at the very least
possible... and Mari and Keren and Faren and Ryan and Claire J and there are
still so many more to follow and read about - correspond with moms... and it
got me through tough times... and there were many during my pregnancy
alone.
You were sent by God (who I believe in and know has played a big role in all
of this in my life - if anyone is offended, I cannot apologize for what I
believe - but you can share your experience and I *won't be offended, as I
believe in tolerance).

So... to all the parents who post information about your children, living or
angels, who share their story, you make us all stronger parents!
Information is power, and when you share your life with us, you empower us
to know more than most drs and certainly more than what can be found in text
books.  YOU allow us to be secretly hopeful, and no matter what the outcome,
we can be better prepared as parents for what lies ahead... not fully
prepared, but certainly better prepared.

Thank you everyone,
Debbie, mom to Claire (T18- 4 years old)

Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the
impossible!
