I'm bored reading this entry over and over again. COAB! Post something!<br/><br/>Ooooo...I love that "ripple" analogy. Although I liken it all to being on one of those rides at the state fair that you regret being on the moment you buckle your seatbelt. When you were in line you were excited for the thrill of it, but once the ride starts you realize it's making you feel like vomiting. Just when you think it's going to end it turns out it's not over yet and the nastiest bend is coming up and you just want to get off and be still for a moment. <br/><br/>I dunno about you, but it's in my most still moments that I feel the worst. Like if a get a second to think about it all, that's when it really hits me. Stupid VACTERLS! Grumble, grumble. <br/><br/>Love,<br/>becca<br/><br/>eyeonthebaby.blogspot.com Uhm, do I need to mail you a Starbucks or something so you have enough energy to write some more on your blog?

I dunno about you, but it’s in my most still moments that I feel the worst. Like if a get a second to think about it all, that’s when it really hits me. Stupid VACTERLS! Grumble, grumble.

I am praying for you even as these words come out of my fingertips. <br/><br/>You are right in the thick of it. I read your daughter’s bio and it sounds like you are on the brink of year three. I think of living with VACTERL like a stone being thrown into a pond. At first the ripples are fierce and frequent. Then slowly over time the ripples are less frequent. <br/><br/>My son Ethan is now 7. He still misses more school than the average kid, but we have gotten into a groove. Occasionally he still has vomiting episodes, but at least he can take care of himself now. I can honestly say that it is sometimes months between ripples. Maybe some day it will be years (knocking on wood).<br/><br/>BTW...thanks for the link to Bring the Rain...I have looped through it several times while reading your blog.
