Bringing A Child Into This World
We often overlook the potential risks when bringing a child into this world. We hope for a healthy child, but when issues are to arise, we don't think of the potential outcome of raising a child with multiple health problems. Moreover, a lifetime diagnosis. A lifetime of taking medications.
Despite Alainas deficiencies, it doesn't affect the amount of love I have for her. It doesn't change the way I see her. If anything, it makes me appreciate life even more. It makes me appreciate being healthy.
Although, she had experienced a bad episode her first couple weeks of life, with time, Alaina has progressed tremendously. I am super thankful, that medication helps keep her alive and healthy. As time goes by we will be faced with other challenges of course, but we will be highly prepared for what is to come!
Counting my blessings!
