I have been trying every day to remind myself along with my children how blessed we are with health and love, and more than we know what to do with. You are an amazing momma and Eli is one blessed little boy. Thanks for being real and yet reminding all of us of the blessing you can see in your days and that we all need to look for the 'smiles' in ours. Eli's smiles are some of my favorite things to look at.

As you said, I can't imagine life without her. She has taught me so much. Your Eli sounds amazing, and you sound like a wonderful, inspiring mother.

I like your analogy about it being a "journey" rather than a "destination". I've never thought of it like that, but that's exactly what it is. I, too, have the same worries. You are not alone, even though I know it often feels like it! <br /><br />I look forward to reading more about you, your family, and precious Eli!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811200369642701918.post-85793811155588501942010-02-24T09:16:44.460-08:002010-02-24T09:16:44.460-08:00Amy...your the "Bestest" You did a wonde...Amy...your the "Bestest" You did a wonderful job..though I am not sure I am the sister you were talking about???

You are amazing and Eli is amazing, I am so glad you posted your feelings. I have often thought about how difficult it would be to be in your shoes and then I see you with Eli and you and Lonnie make it look so easy. Mom wanted me to tell you she thinks your amazing and she Loves you very much. Much Prayers and Hugs and Kisses to you all.

Today is another day. I get up and kiss my daughter on the head and start the day. I'm amazed she's made it this far, and only by God's love I'm sure. We haven't had a vacation in quite a long while either. And yet since God's mercies are new every morning I eagerly watch for His faithfulness. We're out here with you, and praying for you even when you don't know or don't ask. We have been given these children to just love them up. I see you lovin-up Eli really good. I think you're doing a great job.<br /><br />MichelleMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792180719680963701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811200369642701918.post-85326849530369116052010-02-22T21:33:32.156-08:002010-02-22T21:33:32.156-08:00Wow.. all of us special momma's must be feelin...Wow.. all of us special momma's must be feeling it.

Sometimes we just all need to see that as hard as it is we are not alone in this boat we are in.<br /><br />We have been trying to get Zach to gain weight for months and months and I thought we had it tough. Wow 3 years!<br /><br />You are right we have been given a never ending journey, I just pray we can all do our best on this crazy ride cause it really is all we can do!!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233418690603990974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811200369642701918.post-79367873051484483182010-02-22T18:08:17.429-08:002010-02-22T18:08:17.429-08:00You did a great job!

Pouring your heart out is tough, but I really do think it makes things better--call me crazy!<br /><br />I wouldn't worry too much about the weight thing. Eli is a running man in that Bronco and imagine all the calories he's burning doing that activity. Also, I remind myself frequently that Charlie isn't building muscle like a typical child, so he won't gain weight like they do either. Frankly, I think a little fat in fine, but more than that and we're just weighin' them down! Have you ever read Kathryn over at Ryn Tales? She does a lot of posts on nutrition and the g-tube. Great stuff. <br /><br />Ok. You didn't ask for help--you asked for understanding. This is a tough road and I think it's just fine to admit that some times it's harder than others.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189007616883663434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811200369642701918.post-90006820962144152452010-02-22T18:04:27.102-08:002010-02-22T18:04:27.102-08:00Good job, Amy!

It seems like we all are wrestling with the same issues just different kids. Not a struggle any of us wished to take but one that few of us would ever trade. I can see how you and Lonnie treasure Eli...in your words, your pictures and your strength. He is such a jewel! Love ya and keep it up, it's good for us all to get it out!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201448627487443779noreply@blogger.com
