Special Story about my Special Son

Indeed, there are three sides to every story multi-faceted, alerting us against fake news-misery thus, wisdom is needed to unravel twists and mystery along circumspection toward seeking truth's victory! Here am I presenting a story along my role in child-rearing ministry facing challenges on how to handle information-delivery yet staying calm, though reality-check makes me feel sorry.
One decade and five years ago, our special child was diagnosed with infantile spasm epilepsy along global developmental delay… Side 1 ~~~ Perspective of the doctor: The pediatrician with her neurology expertise explained the CT (computed tomography) scan result of our child’s brain --- as having an atrophy. Then she declared this prognosis: “Your child will progress toward retrogression.” Side 2 ~~~ My poetic viewpoint in ABC with alliteration: Apprehension midst anxiety agitated my angst Baby in our life-building bosom Calls for compassionate care due to cerebral palsy condition Diagnosed with debility, demanding diligent duty--- Enabled with endurance for extra-effort Fervently facing feats for faith-fueling Guided with God by His grace and goodness Hope-filled to help our child, we are hoisted that his Infantile spasm epilepsy should not be ignored… Side 3 ~~~ The Omniscient vision of the Divine Almighty: By faith in the Sovereign Supreme Creator Who knows perfectly what’s best, I see His miraculous power in our child who is now 15 years old…progressing toward milestones, midst the Lord’s provision, with our love, prayer and trust, testifying “With God, nothing shall be impossible.*”
Indeed, there are three sides to every story multi-faceted, alerting us against fake news-misery thus, wisdom is needed to unravel twists and mystery along circumspection toward seeking truth's victory! Here I stand today along triumphant territory winning over unbelief, skepticism and guilt's fury learning that the Almighty can overrule man's story since He knows everything, and such is proven in our history!
