Oh Erin, I&#39;m sorry.<br /><br />Don&#39;t feel bad about forgetting to ask details -- my Steve swears that when something is wrong with our kids, the doctor part of my brain just shuts down and the larger dominant Worried Mommy part takes over. That&#39;s the way God made us. Knowing the actual details wouldn&#39;t change anything right now. I will pray for peace, trust in the Lord, and

Erin,<br />Remember what God&#39;s Word says about His plans for us:<br />Romans 8:28 (NIV)<br />&quot;And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.&quot;<br />Also, Matthew 6:25-34,<br />&quot;Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.

You&#39;re doing the best that you can Erin. You also are using this blog in a way to help express your feelings and anxieties which will over time help the process of living through something so utterly stressful that you must feel very powerless over. We&#39;ve all been lost in Mommyville where our brain betrays us momentarily out of fear and hindsight is 20/20 but at least you are aware of it.

Erin,<br />After reading more of your blog and about your boys, I wanted to leave another comment.<br />My youngest, who is now 5, does not have Chiari, but does have Cerebral Palsy and he has many of the same issues that your boys have. Hypotonia and developmental delays. He has been in EI services since birth and they have been a blessing to us.<br />If you ever need someone to bounce things

Thoughts and prayers I know the feeling all to well please don&#39;t worry yourself down Like I have in the past. Our thoughts are with you right now! If this sounds garbled it is only because my brain is in the same type of mode with surgery news ourself(no chairi here though

I am so sorry that you are going through this. It is so hard to wait and worry about what the doctors will tell you.<br />I have Chiari. I wasn&#39;t diagnosed until I was almost 30 years old and then had to have a laminectomy and a craniotomy. It was very scary as an adult too. I worry so much that my daughters have it. I know my son&#39;s do not have it as they have both had MRI&#39;s and

Erin, I&#39;m so sorry that you are going through this. I&#39;ll pray for peace, comfort and healing in your family. <br /><br />Your post has brought me to tears since after struggling with my youngest son for so long, we finally got into a Speech Therapist. There has been no diagnosis yet, but we will be going in for therapy 3 times a week since his speech development is at a 6-9 month level (

Erin,<br />This is when a supermom realizes she is really weak unless she taps into the power source (Holy Spirit). Just let God take over and don&#39;t even try to process it yourself. Let GodBeThisClose - he wants to take over and help. No mom can withstand waiting without God&#39;s hand allowed to take over. YOu&#39;re loved that much!<br />Peace,<br />Michele Z
