[QUOTE="helenamc72, post: 136513, member: 16897"] Hi there, Sorry to hear about Lottie xxx Our daughter Grace was diagnosed 2 weeks after her 2nd birthday so I truely understand what you are going through on the emotional side of things although our experience of Dr's, med centres and hospitals is slightly different as we are stationed in Germany with the British Army at the moment. As soon as we were given the diagnosis my whole world fell apart in an instant but almost 18 months down the line, life is still difficult but we all cope fairly well with it all. Grace has been a star from day one and coped with everything that has been thrown at her with such dignity, I am extremely proud to say I am her mum! Grace is on a pump which does sort of make life that bit easier but in other ways it doesn't in our case, and when the pump breaks down then I go into free fall with panic! Grace has just started nursery and I am glad to say after almost 3 weeks of being in school to help out and make sure the staff are comfortable in what they are doing and that Grace is happy I am almost ready to cut the apron strings and let her go on her own, which is no mean feat, as I have discovered from other mums out here! There are some really wonderful people on here that will offer help and advice whenever they can and in the weeks after Grace's diagnosis this web site was a god send for me, I might not post regularly but I do get up dates and look in the forums to get advice or help if I can. Sometimes it's just knowing that you aren't alone in your situation that helps get you through when you feel like giving up and the people on here whether they know it or not are a big part of that, well for me anyway! I hope everything is getting better for you all and that Lottie is going from strength to strength. Take care xxx Helena [/QUOTE]
