Jun. 9, 2009 - Ups and Downs for Emma
Last week was about all Emma could take. She was constantly panic stricken, wouldn't eat, drink or sleep. She had given up and she was scared. We took her to ACH for help and they have a plan to help her get back on her feet, literally.
She is taking some anti-anxiety medications, doing exercises, and practicing her new routine. She really has been through a lot and I think sometimes we fail to recognize that. Thankfully, every other procedure Emma has undergone has been easy on her. This is the first time she has really had to struggle.
I really appreciate the prayers, gifts, calls and cards. The visits have been nice, too. I want to say thank you to Donna for all the prayers and pick-me-ups!

Hello. I had read your article in the TOS magazine today(Summer issue). My daughter was born with tethered spinal cord along with a rare condition called VACTERL. We are a homeschooling family as well. I also know a family in our area that has a daughter with spina bifida and they are a great source of support as there aren't many children like my daughter. It was very refreshing to read an article about children with physical health issues. Most that I read are about children with learning disabilities or mental health issues.
