I know Julia got a lot out of it, too, and it helped her identify her son's depression and respond to it quickly and push hard for treatment when his docs balked.<BR/><BR/>Both of them told me that it's a difficult read so to make space to take care of yourself emotionally if you pick it up.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164833674841541784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22366945.post-4982033033667645842008-12-13T01:29:00.000-05:002008-12-13T01:29:00.000-05:00Hey, Dawn!

I am so sorry. Hang in, fiercely loving momma! And Miss I who amazes. <BR/><BR/>There's an Andrew Peterson song that's been in my head all week called Don't Give up on Me. It makes me cry every time...usually in the context of my relationship with God or my marriage. But many of the lyrics also apply to adoption. It has been my prayer all week. It is now my prayer for Miss I. <BR/><BR/>keelyJournadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05273812504465763993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22366945.post-62611892589095011102008-12-12T15:01:00.000-05:002008-12-12T15:01:00.000-05:00She was 17 mos old.I haven't read it -- I'll have ...She was 17 mos old.<BR/>I haven't read it -- I'll have to find out about it.

Have you read the trauma book AmFam was blogging about? (Julia at kidneys and eyes read it, too, in the context of her son's transplant surgery.) I would love to hear your thoughts on it.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164833674841541784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22366945.post-21305588846397071022008-12-12T03:55:00.000-05:002008-12-12T03:55:00.000-05:00Oh, wow.
