Quote From: hdunn6873I have seen Cyndi have wonderful times with Alex and difficult times. Cyndi has tried every means of help for Alex. Cyndi has made it a mission in her life to help Alex communicate. She has fought to get Alex in the best school in her city. She has fought to get funding to help Alex get the best care. She has fought to make sure that Alex is protected where ever he goes. Cyndi has socialized Alex. Cyndi takes Alex to theaters. Cyndi buys him things that he enjoys to play with. Cyndi tries to make Alex's life as normal as possible. Cyndi not only devotes her time to Alex but she also supports her other child, as well as giving back to the community. She also gives her shoulder to others that are in need of support. Please pray that Alex will get the help and some day be able to communicate to Cyndi and Ulis what he is feeling.
Cyndi has "a tough row to hoe." It is a difficult problem, much harder than most mothers of "normal" children can even comprehend.
My first child was a full-term still birth. That means that the baby died as my labor began. It plain broke my heart. Two years later, I had my daughter. Two years later, I had my son. Because their older brother had died before he even got a chance to live, I treasured my children. I understand how Cyndi feels because I had two special needs children.
Prayer alone is fine, but what Cyndi needs is a support group. She needs to know and communicate with other mothers in her situation. The problem is Cyndi is not an evil or uncaring mother. If you are "blessed" with a special needs child, merely getting the required help takes months and months. Help does not come knocking on your door. It is months and months of paperwork. Agency after agency will examine your child. That's months and months and months and months . . .
