Doctors are not gods! Laelia has so much tenacity and does more than any baby with "a severe lack" of anything could possibly do! Diagnoses are quite scary. I'll never forget when we found out that Brenton's vertebrae weren't formed correctly (age 15) and that half of his spine had to be fused. The name of the condition and the surgery and the whole thing seemed insurmountable. What he has is not comparable to Laelia's condition by far. But I do know that those "medical words" bring the evilness that Dr. Horrible sings of! God is there with you in this for the long haul. The one thing that got me throught waiting for Brenton to come out of his 10 hour surgery was the 23rd Psalm. I mostly kept repeating "I shall not want".... God bless you all, Robin Clark Hope in God means everything. Doctors are not gods!

Diagnoses are quite scary. I’ll never forget when we found out that Brenton’s vertebrae weren’t formed correctly (age 15) and that half of his spine had to be fused. The name of the condition and the surgery and the whole thing seemed insurmountable. What he has is not comparable to Laelia’s condition by far. But I do know that those “medical words” bring the evilness that Dr. Horrible sings of!

God is there with you in this for the long haul. The one thing that got me throught waiting for Brenton to come out of his 10 hour surgery was the 23rd Psalm. I mostly kept repeating “I shall not want”….

God bless you all,
