Welcome!

This blogging is all new to me. I'm hoping other "special needs" parents might find comfort in knowing they are not alone. Also, I think it is important for me to document my son's accomplishments, struggles, not to mention mine as well.

Ten Things this Special Needs Mom is Thankful for

#10 I am thankful I have decent health insurance. Even though the co pays have gone up and I have to pay more per month, it is still better than most people have.

#9 I am thankful for advances in medicine and medical technology. Without all of the supports in place to help us, I am not sure how we would get by.

#8 I am thankful for my son's teachers who have gotten him this far academically.

#7 I am thankful my child's needs are not worse.

#6 I am thankful for the family that supports us.

#5 I am thankful for friends that help us.

#4 I am thankful that my oldest son is learning much more than a typical kid by having a brother with special needs. I am certain this will serve him well as an adult.

#3 I am thankful that no matter what, my husband always has my back.

#2 I am thankful for my boys, all 3 of them.

#1 I am thankful for a son with special needs. He has forced me to become a voice and he has made me stronger than I ever thought I was.
