Thank God you caught him...I shudder at the thought! Thank God you caught him in time!! We like to think our children "know better" but they can always surprise us...poor Mathew...he must have had such a fright!<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>LindaElle Jay Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045994700772740593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228824667105642290.post-17857730455950383202008-04-10T20:49:00.000-03:002008-04-10T20:49:00.000-03:00I am so sorry you had to go through that. Honestly...I am so sorry you had to go through that. Honestly, though, it happens with "regular" kids too. I shudder to think that my daughter almost could have had her fingers cut off when she stuck them between the bathroom door and the door post and the door was unknowingly shut. Fortunately she yelled right away. And one time a kid I was babysitting stuck a plastic bag over my daughter's head. My god, my daughter could have died. Tragedy averted. It's a wonder our kids grow up at all.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17693598787241469220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228824667105642290.post-1649282672761749292008-04-10T20:15:00.000-03:002008-04-10T20:15:00.000-03:00Oh dear, what a terrifying experience! And poor M...Oh dear, what a terrifying experience! And poor Mathew - you must have scared the daylights out of him. It sounds kind of funny hearing you explain it (sorry!). It sounds like 24/7 vigilance and must be exhausting. I see what you mean by thinking there is progress and then discovering him doing something socially horrifying! The tongs thing is funny too, unless you are HIS MOTHER!!! In which case it is embarassing and sad and upsetting, I suppose. Oh, you poor dear. What a load on your plate. I know you don't want pity and could probably just use a sounding board a lot of the time! Well, we are here for that. I don't know how you do it. But I am glad that you are managing, however tough it must seem at times. I hope your hubby is supportive and you are a united front! Do you have lots of family support? Someone to talk to? <BR/><BR/>I don't have the same level of stress in my life obviously, but I do deal with the stress of chronic headaches and sometimes I know it is nice to just vent and talk to someone who will listen and say "wow, that sounds soo hard" and ask useful questions and show concern and interest. It is so much to deal with on your own, this thing, and people don't realize how intensely your life revolves around this. They don't realize the energy drain and the constant vigilance and the huge elephant that is always in the room with you. I hope you have support. I honestly don't have much, but it is different than your situation. Still, sometimes it is very isolating to have no one to share the HUGE sea of feelings with, feelings and emotions that change every 5 minutes as you go from hope to anger to sadness to complacency to feelings of success to annoyance to happiness and joy to unrelenting fear. It is a daily flood. <BR/><BR/>I am interested and concerned! Keep writing! It is fascinating to see your perspective and to hear of your sweet boy's progress and challenges. :)<BR/><BR/>Love to you and happy weekend!!!!<BR/><BR/>xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.com
