My son was born missing some important pieces of his brain. He's basically a 2 year old newborn. He can smile and laugh (which forunately he does a lot) and hold his head up, but he can't speak, can't roll over, can't sit without support and he's 99% blind (he reacts to light). He has severe seizures and requires constant medication and has enjoyed countless nights in the hospital. Fortunatley, he eats like a champ, and he's otherwise as healthy as a kid can be.
There's no name for what he has and there's nothing to indicate what progress he might make or how long he'll be with us. Like your daughter, we're just happy to have him as long as we can have him and the joy he brings into our family. He's not without his stresses, but we'd never give him up for anything. As long as he's healthy, we're happy.
Anyway, this hobby is a great release for the stresses of life. I like to think that my son enjoys it as well even if he can't express it. I often tell him all about how the cars work and tell him my plans for them and what-not. He is a lot of fun and a great kid to be around. Chicks love him too.  |
I love the super dads out there (Not in a gay way btw
, I hope lincpimp doesn't see this. I know he'll take it to the grave
). It basically keeps all of us going strong as we know we're not alone. My daughter loves RCs and she's already finding out how cool it is to jump a MicroT off a ramp. Afterwards when all the little parts breaks, I show her how to fix it. She's lights up any place that's boring, I wish I had half her energy. I already had people asking me if she can participate in the Special Olympics for kids, but she has a little problem when she looses and I'm working on that with her (She doesn't like to loose). Other people wants to see her playing soccer, but I can't have her like me when she gets older. She also like to play volleyball and she loves racing. We were going nuts when Felipe Massa won the last F1 race
. We all have beautiful kids and yes they bring us all a form of joy that sometimes it's hard to explain. My daughter and I get into our little own space sometimes and nobody can come between us when we get into that mode. It's hilarious sometimes as we laugh just about anything and when the Knock-Knock jokes comes up, oh boy we bring the house down
.
Edit: Keep up the great work, you keep guys like me going strong.
