J how difficult the life can become when we found that our love one born with a special condition. I think everything goes to the floor and you just loose your conscience when the doctor just look at you and say: "You know, your baby has some disease for life." I confess that for the first time in my life I questioned God's action, and I wanted to know why this was happen to me.
For while was difficult even to think about the doctor's words. I felt guilty and a looser.
But I thank God because he made me understand that all of us have a mission here and even when we think it's not fair he can make us believe that he is our soul and can give us strength.
My son had just turned 1 year old last Saturday, and I felt like we should celebrate because he, until now, had only minor symptoms and we are working to make his life a bit easy. But it's very painful to know that even with all our effort at some point he can have some crises and i pray to God to give me the power to go trough with my baby.
At the beginning I was crazy and I think I've reading almost 24 hours about SCD. I started to feel stress every time I talk with a doctor and they can know and understand me, they didn't have the time to read as I have and sometimes it's hard to tell them about some scientific study because they just don't believe or agree.
Guys this community means a lot to me. Here I can find security in my down moments. It's good just be here and see how people can be happy and strong, even when they have something that could be a obstacle for another person. This community make my faith be up all the time, and I thank you guys!!!!!!

God bless you all.

As a mother of a "Sickler" I totally understand; I try to keep up on everything that is happening in SCD research or new case studies, but sometimes for your sanity you have to give yourself a break, or it becomes overwhelming and can mentally take a toll; don't feel guilty. We are always balancing...people think balancing work, being a wife and a mother is hard; try adding a child with a chronic illness to the mix; but I would never trade what I have for the world. I look at life in such a different light, that I sometimes feel sorry for people, who can not even appreciate the minor things in life. I look @ each day in a positive manner, even when it's hard to.
I feel God created us specially.
