I normally hate it when people say, “Oh, I know just how you feel,” when really you suspect that they don’t, but I know just how you feel….and really I do! And I also hate when people say, “oh, everything will be fine!” But I really do think everything will be fine! It is such a worry, and as you know, having been in your exact place, I feel for you and Mark. But just remember the little wild child who was running around Terry’s porch…she looked JUST like little Paige. I’m thinking of you all.
And by the way, I am now officially addicted to your blog!! It was soooo great to see you!! And L.V. Harkness is extremely appreciative of the press!!

According to my mom, all of her 3 daughters sat like fat, happy lumps until at least 18 months. This was a while ago, so the flagging of worrisome symptoms by pediatric officialdom was generations away. Mom says we were just thinking, that our brains were so extremely creative that we kept ourselves quite busy and entertained without any need to move. We’re all fine movers now, but still appreciate a good, creative, loungey think-without-movement. Sometimes it involves television, but usually books or the interwebs. Good luck with Paigey; I’m sure she’s making up fabulous stories in her head, and she’ll move when she decides she needs farther-flung inspiration.

aww this sounds so hard. i’m glad she has you advocating for her and here is my official “my nephew didnt walk and had to have braces on his legs like some dickensian urchin and now has the sleek running limbs of a kenyan roadrunner” obligatory reassurance.

Every parent goes through this with something – all three of mine have had their serious challenges. Bottom line is that it’s great that you are dealing with whatever it is. Thinking of you… xoxo

Joke as you will, I am thinking about you guys and hope you are hanging tough. No one wants to hear the MD say anything other than your kids are spectacular. Smooches to you both…
