Hi All,
I am a single 24 year old mom of a very special litte girl.She is 12 months old and the light of my life.She will never walk and uses a kid kart for mobility.Are there any other single parents of a special needs child here?I would love to visit with another single parent like my self,and discuss the day to day struggles that we face,which in some ways are very similar to other single parents,but (at least mine) can be more complicated.My daughter has been hospitalized three times since march 1,and people do not seem to realize how hard can be.If you are another parent of a special needs child(or are expecting a special needs angel),please feel free to post,I would love to hear from you.

I am a single parent of 3 beautiful children, one of which as a fatal disease called Cystic Fibrosis. Every year she is in the hospital, she requires many medications and vest therapy treatments, oddly enough. I don't notice that my life is any different. In the beginning it was challenging. But then it because part of our every day life. It because routine. And it will become that way for you too. I promise. Everyone has challenges raising their children, it's how we face them. Make sure not to spend too much time entertaining negative thoughts, it gets you down and only makes the challenges harder. Lift up your chin, put a smile and your face, sit back and watch the love your child has for you, and feel the love you have for them, and my dear, that is all it takes to overcome anything.

I don't have a special needs child but I am a special education teacher. I teach mentally disabled children through their middle school years and I absolutely love them! They are the most loving, innocent children! I know that their parents spend a lot of time out of work with doctor visits, evaluations, and hospital stays and that must be extremely stressful. But, the rewards are wonderful! Try not to focus on all the extra work, but on all of the milestones that are so amazing and all of the love you two can share. You have been truly blessed with your daughter and she has been blessed to be born to a mother who is so concerned about her and loves her so much!

Hi Christy,
Thanks for the encouragement.For about 3 years before my daughter was born I worked as a state certified respite provide/special fam hab home and LOVED it.I couldn't have picked a better child had I tried.I would give my life for my daughter,she is so much fun.I'm sorry if my post seemed kinda down,I really didn't mean it that way.It is hard to keep going back and forth in and out of the hospital never knowing if she will be strong enough to pull through or not.
