Thank you both Denise and Macntosh, for sharing your personal stories with us. Please excuse my ignorance, but I truly just learned alot from you. I did not fully understand CP until now. There are 6yr old twins in my son's karate class. From talking to their mother I knew that they were premies, and I knew that she enrolled them in Karate to help their coordination/strength. She also mentioned that at one time they thought their smaller child would never walk. Now I know that they both must have CP, as I always wondered why the one seems to always walk on his tiptoes.

God bless you and your children. You all were picked to raise your children because of special gifts that you have. You are all in my prayers.

Not by any means.

macntosh - I agree with the others. I never noticed your daughter's crutches - only that truly adorable face! She is cute cute cute!!

Here's a question though... I always make a point to look directly at someone with a visable disability and smile, say "hello". I have heard of so many people saying they feel invisible or ignored because of their wheelchair or crutches. Is it wrong to do that? I was just trying to be friendly!
mommykds - great pic! Those shirts look great! Especially on lime green!

Macntosh and triplefigs - thank you so much for sharing your stories. Triplefigs your children are gorgeous.

Macntosh your DD is so beautiful. I understand about people staring. While my oldest DD was going through 3 years of chemo. People would stare and point fingers. But, I think the worst was when parents would tell their kids to be quiet if they started asking questions about her. I would have just preferred to have the questions. My DD went to heaven 5 years ago but, I can still see and feel those incidents.

Again, thank you so much for sharing your stories.

LoriDee,

Thank YOU for sharing your story. I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your DD is smiling in heaven knowing her mom is thinking about her and loving her. I know you must miss her very much. Hugs to you.

geetey I do the same thing....espescially with Down's Syndrome kids....they seem to get the biggest stares. So if we are in the wrong I am sorry. Although I gotta say that saying hi gives me a big kick too...esp. when,like this 4th of July a young man(about 14/15) says hi back...his mom stared at him and then me and asked him if he had just said hi to me.....he said yeah and I could tell that this was a huge step for him!!

I love all the designs and this weekend I get to finally work on some of my own!!!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Wow we are a serious group tonight! I just want to say that all of your children are beautiful and your stories are courageous

On a slightly lighter note, my arm is about to fall off from doing the rest of my shirts today!
I made 21 total and here is a sampling of my favorites:

Here's for CRT (hopefully DH will wear the King Daddy one!)

Here are 2 for DS2- the one on the left is to wear on the plane and the one on the right is the family T so I made one for each of us.

The one on the left is for me to wear to Food & Wine fest in the evenings and the one on the left is wishful thinking that DS2 will actually sleep!

macntosh and Denise... thanks for sharing!

Mac... I am yet another who have viewed your pics and NEVER noticed crutches and had to look back to see what you were talking about. I think she is a cutie and you are gonna be batting the boys away later.... ick ick, what a thought huh! Yep, you are blessed to have her and she you and yor wife!

Denise... 3 adorable kids you have there! How do you do it? I can't handle one most days! You are blessed to be able to do that AND nursing! It amazes me that nurses just "have the heart" for it. I can't take anything that is a bodily fluid from someone other than a child.

I have a friend with CP, his servere. Mentally perfect, but physically, he has very little control in one arm, but you have to be careful cuz he jerks and can hit ya at any time we tease him that he is "just doing that" lol. He is a love and an inspiration! At church he dances in his wheelchair by zooming it all over the place!

Even though he can't speak or move more than one arm, he is writing a book about his life! I can't wait to read it! He points to letters on a board and then someone writes for him, letter by letter! He is amazing! Anyway, I am rambling, sorry.

to all with CP and any other disability!

We are picking the older kids up at school tomorrow am to head for the airport. My ds7 could not get to sleep tonight as he is so excited. I was reading these boards and my ds2 comes running out wearing his first haircut Mickey ears from a previous trip and trying to stuff his blanket into a backpack. He announces that he is ready to go to Mickey's House now. It was just too cute. I think he may be the most excited and knowing how excited I am that is an amazing statement.

The "Royal" ones are courtesy of Julia and Nick's Mom and the themed ones are from Midnite.

I have so many more (including a great German Mickey one for DH, a retro Mickey etc.) but I don't have the energy to post 'em! (Diet Coke- where are you?????)

OMG that is too cute!!!!! We just got back from my brother's wedding in DC and that was DS2's first plane trip. All he talks about now is how we are going to take the "great big car" (limo) to the airplane to go see "Mickey and Cinderumbrella and the Great Big Castle!" And we still have 12 days to go!!!!!!!!
Have a wonderful time!!!!

Here is the Mickey that somebody asked for....

and here is the cut out that I put on a sleeve, but could also be used for a front "pocket" idea...

Marti

Thanks a bunch, Marti!

 

[PNO4TE]
