You are such a sweet thing and thank you for sharing your feelings and thoughts with everyone.<br /><br />I think having a sick child would be terrifying and so difficult to cope with. You are doing a sensational job.<br /><br />xxxRachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08573991998853561283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636103160548680175.post-59914743284055742902009-11-27T10:38:08.355+11:002009-11-27T10:38:08.355+11:00I&#39;m so sorry to hear that you are feeling cr*ppy.

I wish I could wrap you in a hug. Eva is one lucky little girl to have you as her Mama. Don&#39;t kick yourself for enjoying the healthy good days that you have with her - those are the days with all the good memories that can help see you through the harder days. Hopefully the hard days become fewer and far between. You&#39;re doing a great job and are a fabulous Mom......

The isolation makes it so much worse, and you&#39;ve taken a big, positive step in reaching out. I understand where you are coming from. You are not alone. I&#39;m sending you big Texas hugs. . . and I&#39;m not a hugger.

I know that we had the same feelings about Caleb when he was diagnosed although no where near as scary as what Eva went through but still who would he be as an adult, how will it affect him and I get caught out too in the good times thinking we ar eon top of it and you can&#39;t help feel a little sad when somedays you realise you are well and truly in the thick of it. Eva has a beautiufl soul and I reckon no matter how her internal heart beats her soul heart beat will mean that she lives her life with full ferocity. She may not play sport, she may be lucky enough to adopt but there will be so many other lessons she will achieve. Sending you all lots of love. xxCindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10521174979832937974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636103160548680175.post-80006698824980759392009-11-24T22:35:43.984+11:002009-11-24T22:35:43.984+11:00Sophie...your post brought tears to my eyes.

You are an inspiring mother who adores her beautiful, little girls. That&#39;s what I see. I think of you often, and it must be so hard having a sick babe, but you are doing an awesome job.

It must be so hard to worry about your little girl so much, it is the fear of every mother, I think, to go through what you go through. Don&#39;t doubt yourself, don&#39;t feel bad about yourself. You are, from what I can see, such a strong and loving mother. Your family is lucky to have you, with all your ups and downs. xKarinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05265648838034821590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8636103160548680175.post-59977921340443943272009-11-24T19:01:24.446+11:002009-11-24T19:01:24.446+11:00oh Soph, your one of the sweetest souls I have ever met.
