Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

peasha"This has been one of the most supportive places I have ever been. I found MDJ by mistaking looking for drs to help me with my many health issues and since that day over a year ago I have found a tight nit little family that keeps me going when the times are tough and offers me a place of retreat to share my successes and failures with others. I get to see the humor and seriousness of what I experience as well as the resources to learn about my health conditions. Thanks MDJ" (peasha)

Dear smurfy,

I may not know all that your going through, but I know the feeling of seeing someone so precious like a baby fighting for their life and you cant do nothing to help them. But, what helped me through my ordeal, was to pray, praying for my daughter and especially to pray for myself. I felt angry, hopeless, guilty, frustrated, I too, couldnt believe my ex-husband, but, husband at the time could do something so horrific as to hurt their own baby, but it happened, and today my Alissa is paying the price for her fathers ignorance.

I'm not sure of the outcome of your grandsons brain injury, but, what is important is setting up medical services for your grandson ASAP!!!! Early intervention services with the 0 -3 program, making sure he receives all therapy services, so as to start his recovery and to get him physically and mentally able again.

As with my Alissa, she is severely developmentally delayed. Alissa has physical, mental, vision and cognitive impairments. I try not to allow her disabilities to discourage me from doing what I need to do to help her. Still, its been a long journey, and God has seen me through many difficult times. Believe me, sometimes I want out, but, somehow I know I need to seek Gods peace for Alissa and my life, if not, I will just fall apart.

Smurfy, I pray Gods peace for your grandson, daughter and you.

Much Love

Marialen/Alissa

Smurfy,
