so much happens in a year...

It has been a year since my precious girl suffered a blood clot large enough to almost completely cut off the circulation in her left leg. She was in Greece when this happened and I could not be there to help her. I have never felt so frustrated in my life! She was on the other side of the world hurting and I could not get to her! I think I know now how mothers feel that have children in the armed forces. Not knowing day after day what danger they are in,not being able to get to them when they are. I don't care how old your children get,they are always your children .

Last year was one of the worst. Rachel,my daughter and only child had three major health problems.Losing a good portion of her hearing in one ear,suddenly. Being diagnosed with Celiac ,an autoimmune disorder,and the Protien S Factor V blood clotting disorder. One of them would be more than enough for anyone to deal with. She has learned to deal with all three admirably. Not without allot of suffering and soul searching. I am damn proud of her.
