Quote From: shelly_80I realize this originally aired back in March, so I hope Robyn and Connie both read this if no one else does. Let me begin by saying I am not a mother yet, so I can't know or have an opinion of what either of you are going through in that aspect. However, I once was a child with a disability, I am now an adult with the same disability. I have cerebral palsy and for the first 9 years of my life I had multiple seirures a day for which I was on medication, until I was 12. I'll never forget the seemingly never-endless doctors visits that I hated with great passion, I might add. Due to God's healing and the correct medication, I am happy to say that I've been seisure-free for the last 15 years. I live a completely normal life. There's isn't a single thing I can't do that I put my mind to. I am very determined! It may take me longer and I might have to find a different way, but I can promise you I will accomplish it. There is hope for you!
I cannot stress enough that I would not be the 27 year old woman I am today if it were not for my mother, father and 2 older sisters. My mom drove me to all of my my doctors visits, did theropy, and made sure I had all of my medicine. She had alot of help and support from my dad and sisters, as well. Even though mine and your children's disabilities are very different, symptom wise, the stress and frustration of it all as a parent is very much the same. So, please keep pressing forward as the awesome mother's both of you are and help your children through this difficult time. God chose you to mother your kids because He knew both of you were the ONLY ones that has what it takes to get them through life. Like I stated, as the child, I can't imagine the emotional and physical stress you have as the mothers. However, as the child, I can honestly say the only possible way your children will be who God has destine for them to be is if YOU raise them. God would not have put that much faith in you if He didn't think you weren't capable. One of my favorite saying is "If God brought you to it, He will bring you through it!" God bless you both!!!! Robin, This is Cyndi from the same show you were on. Sorry that we were engrossed that day in our resource Dr. Granpeeshah. My husband told me that you talked to him and I am sorry that we did not get a chance to talk. No one can know how much you care about your child in watching a 15 minute segment of your life on this show.There are people who will understand what your are going through and there are people that no matter how much explaining you do well, lets just say they will never get it. No one knows what they would do in another persons life until they have lived it. You have obviously done things right because you have older children that have turned out great. I hope we have a chance to talk next show. Cyndi
