A note to all the new parents of special needs babies? Hello New Mom, Congratulations, you are now part of a world where there is exquisite beauty. Along with that beauty will come a hardship few can expound on. You are in the circle of a chosen few..... who become the warriors. You will see and hear challenges you have not heard of. You will beam with joy at the most basic skills accomplished. You will be the biggest fan EVER . Your love for your child will endure you through all the tasks ahead. You will be holding your breath without even knowing it and break into tears at the drop of the hat. You will think you just can't do it..but somehow you will find it in you to continue. You will see your other children step up and advocate for their sibling and be better off because of it. Your other children will astound you with their love and patience. You will see the worst in humanity with stares and unkind words spoken and although it's extremely painful you will learn to push through at those times. You will be their advocate forever. You will be the fierce mama bear ready to swipe your claws at anyone who says "No" it just can't be done. Each miniscule accomplishment your child masters is your accomplishment too. The gentle pureness and childlike ways of your child will make your heart sing with joy. You will get to know names of specialists like endocrinologist and speech pathologists and be waiting in Doctor offices more than you will want to. You will learn of orthotics and how to use them. You will become a Physical therapist and a Occupational therapist without the degree. You will know that " failure to thrive" isn't so scary and you will learn to feed your child through tubes if it has to be done. You will learn to depend on all the therapists and Special Ed. Teachers and learn to love them like your family. You will learn along with your child. You will know sadness and loneliness of a parent of a special needs child. You will learn that there is a vast storage of knowledge and love and understanding with the seasoned parents. Befriend them, join Facebook forums they are your support. Theses groups are strong because they hold each other up. You will know love so deep and pure it amazes you. You will become a proud parent and warrior of the most gentle soul you will ever have the honor to call your child.
