Since we have found out Abby's diagnosis of a tethered cord, I have joined a Yahoo support group for parents of children with tethered cords. One was kind enough to pass along the following inspiration. I've been having a very hard time dealing with the fact that Abby will have so many challenges to endure throughout her life. This is the first thing I've read to give me some peace.
The Special Child
The Child, yet unborn, spoke with the Father,
"Lord, how will I survive on the world?
I will not be like other children, My
walk may be slower, my speech hard
to understand, I may look different.
What is to become of me?"
The lord replied to the child,
"My precious one, have no fear, I will
give you exceptional Parents, they
will love you because you are special,
not in spite of it. Though your path
through life will be difficult, your
reward will be greater, you have been
blessed with a special ability to love,
and those whose lives you touch will
be blessed because you are special."

Your thought of the day is really nice. I'm a positive thinker - and am still hoping and praying that Abby gets good news from Dr. Jane after her additional tests. If not, I know you and Ken are up for the challenge to do all you can for Abby.
