Drumroll, please....

Well, here it is - my first blog....myspace excluded. This page has been created as an outlet for me, and hopefully it will give everyone a little insight into the life of a mom to a child with "special medical needs". When I think about the days and endless nights I spent searching for information about children with lung problems, children with feeding tubes....a lot of the information I came up with was from medical journals. Not very heartening or personalized. It didn't give me a good idea of what I had ahead of me. Would it be awful? Would I be able to handle it? How did other moms do it? Surely there must be some mom, somewhere, that has gone through something similar. Did her baby still smile? Did he laugh? Was he happy? Did people stare? Any personal info would have been great.
So hopefully, some mom, somewhere, will stumble across this blog in the middle of the night and realize that there is, indeed, sunshine in Holland.
