Baby Annie is doing fantastic. Her big brother (3 1/2) is struggling. We are in the midst of testing and seeking help from a specialist for a potential autoimmune condition (lupus or rheumatoid arthritis). I feel like my heart is breaking. It's a long story that spans the past three years. Finally we are getting him the help I always felt in my gut he needed with little help from his pediatrician. I'm scared, angry, and oh so worried for my sweet baby boy. We won't have answers for a while as the wait to get into the specialist is about six weeks. I'm doing my best to be mommy warrior and keep a brave front but it collapses after he's asleep and I cry and worry. Our bright and shiny future now seems so scary and dark. The life I imagined for him may be so different. We had hoped to maybe have another baby and now it seems like a distant dream. I will fight for his health and love him with all that I have. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
