When it comes to special needs children

Sometimes it's so hard to find people that really "get it."  I'm not blaming the rest of the world for not understanding, all I'm saying is that when I find someone out there who really gets it, I just want to hang on to that person.  Sometimes you don't even get it yourself until talking with others in the same situation.  This was said to me today.  I haven't heard words this true in a long time.

It's just different and people don't get it.  You're running around and doing all these things for your special needs child, taking them to endless appointments, researching and calling and finding new therapies, seeing doctors, meeting with teachers.   You sort of  become more of a manager of that child.  It doesn't leave much room for forming a relationship with them.  Sometimes they just need to be the child and you need to be the parent.  

AND, on a really positive note, I met Breanna's new Speech therapist today....in the 10 mins I Talked with her I already know I'm going to love her:)  Breanna now oficially has the most amazing group of people working with her, people who would give their right arm to help this little girl.  It has taken a while to get here, but it was worth it!
