[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 145665, member: 1233"] Honey, I know this hurts your mommy heart. been there done that. I can tell you that she is sick. She is not in the hospital because you have failed. When she gets a cold or the flu it is not your fault. It is the fault of the germs. MAYBE you could stretch it and say it is the fault of her body's immune system, but mostly it isn't a fault. This is the same thing. It is not due to any lack of caring, lack of parenting, over caring, over parenting, or any other factor. It is ONLY the fault of the illness. You have done the very best thing a mom can do in this situation. You got your seriously ill child the help she so seriously needed. It is scary. Any time one of our babies is sick it is scary. You will have to face the fears, and the illness as it comes. She is a very lucky girl - she has a really strong mom. A mom who is strong enough, determined enough, and caring enough to make sure the doctors give whatever help is available to her. It is very important you find some help for yourself right now. You cannot be there for her if you are not taking care of yourself. I know you hate this. I hate that it is needed. Please find a counsellor or minister or someone you can talk to. You have a lot going on right now. Please eat, rest and take time to replenish your stores of strength. You need to take the respite available now while she has doctors, nurses and other staff to monitor her and meet her needs around the clock. She will come home and you will be all of those people. At that point you MUST have all the strength possible, physically and emotionally. Sending hugs and prayers to guide you through this darkened pathway, Susie [/QUOTE]
