Kids are amazing. Sammy has adjusted very well. It is me that has the problem. I want him to be home with me and not in daycare. He loves school and most days has no problem going. He has asked a lot of questions about why I can't do things and when am I going to get my new lungs. We explain things in very simple language for him. So far he seems to take it all in stride. I have a feeling that I will get my chance to be his full time mommy one of these days, so I am just trying to patiently wait.
Thank you for your support. I am sure you know all the feelings that are going through my mind right about now. I got sick when my son was 2 yrs. old, so I haven't picked up my baby since he was 2. I have seen some of your posts on Transplant Buddies. That's were I met Kim who invited me here. I will chat more, but now I it's bath time and I like to sit and watch my husband give Sammy his bath. At least I am included in all that goes on, I just can't do the activity.
Thanks again!!
i swear, when did i get to be so old that i can't figure out these new fangled websites all the kids are using these days?????
Hey, i guess in our world, being old is something one should never complain about...Viva la Oldness!!! :)
If you can send me Dr P's addy I will ship his book out tomorrow...
