Changing the subject...

The 3 Day has come and gone. It was an experience that I will always take with me, but not something that I will do again until I have more time to train.

Now the subject of the blog is changing. Now the subject will be about a day in the life of having a disabled child. I also have a normally-abled child and a third child that I call Husband ;o).

Kennedy, is my 7 1/2 year old daughter that is home schooled. She, of course is brilliant, kind and a love bug. She is a great big sister to Garrett and is aware of his disabilities. She helps him and protects him. She is very matter-of-fact to other children that ask "What is wrong with your brother?"

Garrett is a 4 year old disabled child. He is a blessing in our lives and we are grateful that he is still with us. There have been enough close calls that my hair is going gray way too early! We do not know the cause of his disability; although, we are working towards that goal.

There are many joys and heartbreaks that go along with having a disabled child. The joys are bigger and more profound than with a normal child. When your disabled child finally accomplishes something you cry tears of joy and relief. The heartbreaks can be devastating if you let them, but my faith in God has kept me going through the heartbreaks.

So, this will be a log of my journey of motherhood for a normal child and a differently-abled child.
