MDJunction to me

Macv"For me, MDjunction has been a place where I can share my experiences
living with the very rare bone disease called Ollier's ( Enchondromatosis ) with the parents of children recently diagnosed. I can help them not to run
into the pitfalls my parents did when I was young, give them a bit of a view
from their child's perspective and simply be there to offer support and
hope to people who are scared and just had their lives upended. I also belong to a chronic pain group and it's been a Godsend to be able to actually
talk with others who understand what I'm dealing with. Besides them helping me through my tough times, I can be there to help them as well. Here too, I can use my years of experience to help others avoid pitfalls and it makes me feel good, gives my life more purpose. MDjunction brings people
together when their suffering, at their darkest and feeling alone in this world and allows some light to be brought back into their lives. HOPE, that's what
MDjunction means to me!

Just wanted you to share in our joy in the birth of our twin grand-daughters born by C-section today. They are: Elizabeth (wt: 6 lb, 13 oz) and Emelia (wt: 5 lb, 5 oz.). Their middle names are too weird, so I won't divulge them.

My son and DIL have four other children (3 girls, 1 boy) so this came as a surprise when an IUD became MIA! Tongue Smile However, they are a blessing from God just the same.

They wanted the other children to bond with the new siblings without other company, so we are going up to Lima (100 mi north) on Saturday. I haven't called them-- I'm way too blubbery these days! Sad

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I cannot, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

I am not a medical provider. Think of me as another mom, with loving, caring wisdom!

Can't help it; I just get all blubbery when I see pics. Have to share! Got to hold them Saturday. Sooooo tiny!!!! Here, they are in their hospital bassinets together. They look like two sisters sharing secrets. That's what sisters SHOULD do! Smile Smile
