I lost my friends

Hang in there! It can be really hard to adjust at the beginning. I remember feeling like I just wanted to move my family to an island so I didn't have to deal with other friends/family. It will get easier and hopefully your friends and family will realize how much you need them. I will say that I have found some wonderful friends online and through participating in fundraisers for the CFF (especially Great Strides). That is a great way to meet other parents who are going through the same things. I would try not to give up on the people in your life just yet, they may come around eventually. Also, once I got through the adjustment period of my daughter's diagnosis (which put me in a terrible funk for many months, almost a year) I did get back into my previous social activities and that is really when most of my friends started asking questions, learning and getting involved. I think I had to put them at ease for them to be able to do that. It felt risky to me bc I was so emotional about it, but it has been worth it in the long run.

Many hugs to you!

You knew i would respond.....You know how dad and I feel about family and we are there for you always so you can rest assured that the girls are fine with dad and me, with you at the hospital. No problem!!!!!Don't worry about them, just stay with Grayson and get her better to come home to us. I am done trying to figure out why family and friends act as they do. Its their lost to not know Grayson and what a trully sweet and lovable baby she is. We love all the girls with all our hearts. I think you need to concentrate on those people who are there to back you up, cry with you, laugh with you and even bitch with you.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> We are blessed to have God give us Grayson. And by the way go to the christmas party this weekend and we will keep the girls overnight.....you need a nite out with your man!!!!! I love you!!!!!!!xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Will you be my mom too? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> Of course my kids are old enough to stay home alone now, but I would have LOVED it if I'd heard those words when they were little. God bless you.

Tcole- take your mom up on this offer, and don't feel guilty for one minute about taking some time to yourself. Hang in there, and know we are here for you. I'm also happy to talk with you over the phone, so PM me if you'd like my number.

You do find out who your true friends are. The same thing happens with other illnesses. It happened to me when I was first daignosed with MS. It hurts. But later you will realize that it is for the best. You have a limited amount of time for people now and you do not want to waste that precious time on people who cant be there for you.

My daughter just turned 1 year old. She was diagnosed at 7 days old. It was devestating. Since your daughter was born you have been going through so much. I hope it will help you to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It will get better.

Hugs to you.
