You will hear this a thousand times, but I understand your concern. I am a mother of a 7 year old daughter with Cerbral Palsy. The early years were really rough, even now I could still let myself get really down if I wanted to. What I wake up and tell myself every morning, is that I have a beautiful, happy, healthy daughter that has brought more joy into my life than I ever thought possible. I pray that Emma Kelley is perfectly healthy and normal, just developing at her own rate. Which is very possible, there is no perfect child that develops in just the right way. For some reason, there was something wrong, you will hurt for her and that is the most natural thing. Don't deny yourself that hurt, keeping it inside makes it harder. What I can say is that some days will be harder than others, and yet some days will bring you more happiness than you ever thought possible. Whether something is wrong, that will not change the way you feel about her. It might even bring a stronger bond. My daughter and I are inseperable. Naturally I always worry about her more than I probably would had she been "normal," but that does not effect my happiness when she reaches those milestones that we have waited so long for. Just remeber, that you will make it thru the bad times, and I believe that God gives special needs children to special people. And you are a very special person, and will handle whatever God decides to give you.
