We don’t know what the prognosis will be, because there quite simply isn’t the statistical information available to be able to monitor it. I say this only because I do have an inkling of what you mean when you say you would swap places in an instant. You do an awful lot of soul-searching and wondering why, for a while. You have to give that bit more, you think. Be there for them. And, hey, guess what, the day comes when you realise it’s them cheering you up!!!<BR/><BR/>They’re special (when they’re not being a pain). All children are. We should feel blessed. WELL DONE, Jane. <BR/><BR/>I started your book :) pp 20 only so far, but I’ve got much more of a feel for the lurrvley Danny now!

I had Gestational Diabetes, its very frustrating trying to keep your sugars in order!!<BR/><BR/>It really does strike me how resiliant children are when it comes to the practical things in life.
