My son has multiple chronic medical issues and has had twice as many surgeries as birthdays in his short life. Even when everything is normal for us, it is always in my mind and no one in our family gets how hard it is. When your child has faced death and other major health crises you don't ever recover. At least I haven't yet. And whenever we gear up for another surgery (waiting on a date now for number seven), I go into survival mode where only the essentials get accomplished. Birthday cards are at the bottom of my list and I feel bad, but that is how it is.<br /><br />Thanks for letting me know I am not alone.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353762784857238715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-83257995964905549322012-02-28T16:33:32.865-05:002012-02-28T16:33:32.865-05:00Your post made me cry because I too have been ther...Your post made me cry because I too have been there...or are there. Things are different now and that's just the way it goes I guess. So besides worrying about diabetes, my daughter, regular parent worries, etcetera, I also added the sucky friend worry to my list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-9341567660011131392012-02-22T22:45:06.808-05:002012-02-22T22:45:06.808-05:00Thanks for this post.

I worry when he is at daycare, school, etc. It is hard and we are trying to deal with it too. It is nice to know there are other people to talk with out there and that the things that are important have changed and that is okay.

I am sure it will also hold true in the future. It was encouraging to read this post and feel less alone. Thank you for sharing the journey of your family on this blog.

I definitely feel like I can't relate to others anymore and the small talk just seems so meaningless when our days are filled with keeping our kids alive and handling highs/lows etc. Thanks for sharing and making me not feel so alone!NikDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339827779693006419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-55634107376789059502012-02-16T09:01:06.354-05:002012-02-16T09:01:06.354-05:00Its tough that Sweets is still so little, still so...Its tough that Sweets is still so little, still so young. But it DOES get better as they get older, simply because *most kids* will be more able to detect the highs and lows that we constantly worry are about to sneak up at any time.
