Overwhelmed

Here I am worried of all the if’s and what’s. But one thing I have learned from all research I am doing is that only time can tell you what’s next. The hardest part was to see things through the baby’s eyes and others. When you go out and people say oh how cute she is and they ask how old and you say 8mths they then turn and look and stare like what’s wrong with her. It’s very hard when you see other children her age doing things a child should do and my niece can only baby talk. One thing positive was that her eye test she passed. So I give you hope on that part she keeps her focus for sometime not too long and she will keep short contact with finger puppet we got for her. Which is good therapy for her. Just reading everyone’s blogs gives me more confort that we are not alone in this battle and also helps me prepare myself and my sister to what’s to come in the future and how to deal with things to come and how people react to the baby. Like most of everyone else it hurts not to compare with other children. One question is has anyone found any literature on children’s growth with DWS? Like the books we read now is based on child’s months and what they should be doing now. To which it doesn’t help much cause it just makes you cry and wish things were different for her.
