Comments on: Feeling weird for not feeling depressed http://littlemisshannah.com/2009/01/feeling-weird-for-not-feeling-depressed/ Our Fight against Gaucher's Disease type 2 or 3 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:34:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Melissan http://littlemisshannah.com/2009/01/feeling-weird-for-not-feeling-depressed/comment-page-1/#comment-145 Melissan Mon, 12 Jan 2009 20:06:39 +0000 http://littlemisshannah.com/?p=478#comment-145 There is no reason for you to feel guilty or depressed. Although a weighty battle, you have learned that she is not leaving you in the near future...a time to rejoice for a mother who thought her little angel might be terminally ill and not make it out of infancy. Of all the news you've been getting recently, learning that your daughter will make it for the next 10 to 20 years is more hope than you've been given in some time. I think you are right on, to enjoy what you have right now, to embrace your kids and prepare for your fight against Gaucher's. There is no reason for you to feel guilty or depressed.

Don't worry what your reaction is--who cares? It's great that you are in fighting mode and that you are doing so much. Who knows what tomorrow brings for any of us--at least you know to take each day for itself and to love each other immensely in each moment. Peace........

We have to take life day-by-day, and it seems to me that you shouldn't feel guilty, rather funnel your energies into what counts most. And I don't believe that the coincidences you describe are just that--I believe you've been blessed--You and your beautiful family will remain in our prayers!

You're in fight mode right now, fighting for your daughter to get through this. There are no rules for how you're supposed to feel right now as everyone reacts differently. My heart goes out to for all you're going through. Your daughter is so very blessed to have you for her mother. She most definitely is a gift from God.

Like you said you're in fight mode and that's fueling you... it's also giving Hannah strength and letting her know everything will be alright. Continue to fight and know that we're all praying and thinking about you. I don’t think your response is abnormal at all.

Your blog today really hit home. Grey will be gone a month tommorrow. My husband and I keep asking ourselves why we are able to function. We just lost our baby and life keeps going on. I really think it's because Grey was given to us so that we could make a difference. Who better to fight for newborn screening than a SpEd teacher and a pediatric nurse whose middle child has PKU and was treated and perfectly healthy due to newborn screening. I don't know where to start, but I would sure like to work with you to figue it out. Hope to talk to you soon. Nicole www.greysgift.com Carrie,

You are reacting to the news in the way you need to react right now. There may come a time when you feel the need to cry, but obviously that is not the time. You took the news running and ready to go and that was exactly what you and Hannah needed. You should be proud of yourself and all the work you have already done.

And I don't think you're crazy not to be falling to peices with the diagnosis. It proves that YOUR purpose to be the mom she needs you to be. That, I'm certain of.
