Technology is bad in a lot of ways (can create laziness, etc.), but it sooo wonderful in others. Without my group of heart moms (all online), I'd be a heaping pile of insanity! I'm so glad you found other parents to support you with Justin's medical diagnoses. I know how it causes a great sense of peace to know that others are walking the same journey as you. You're such a good mom! Justin and Nathan are lucky kiddos. Have a great weekend! xo I honestly have no idea how parents pre-internet survived, especially parents of medically-needy children.

You’re such a good mom! Justin and Nathan are lucky kiddos.

Have a great weekend! xo

I am quite certain that Justin (and Nathan, for that matter) will have the very best you can offer, and that is a whole lot! I know that parents love their children inherently, but I don't think (after spending several years in special ed. classrooms) that all parents share your drive to learn all they can and make sure that their kids have access to anything that might help. So many parents, for a variety of reasons, either don't have the time, energy or ability to so thoroughly educate themselves and advocate for their kids. That's quite a gift to your kids and I hope you will remember that when you find yourself discouraged or desperately looking for the next thing to try. You will not have failed them, despite any of your limitations or decisions that you may later second-guess. :) I love your resourcefulness and creativity.
