"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

Kirk was born with a food intolerance...my milk, and everything else we tried made him sick. He was in constant pain and when hospitalized, came home with no voice from crying so long and so hard without comfort and no solution. I made a Japanese 'obi' and carried him against my body and kept him alive on mashed bananas. Neither of us slept much and he was given the last rights at our church. My doctor never gave up and at 3 months, sent me to a pediatrician a long distance away. When we got there...he talked with me and said he knew what was wrong and what to do without even examining my 'terminal' baby and prescribed Gerber's canned formula of scraped beef hearts and gelatin. I bought it and immediately fed it to him and he slept all the way home...about 100 miles...and I cried all the way home. Had I listened to anything but my heart, he would have died.

Well, we're glad that pediatrician steered you in the right direction. What would we do w/o Kirk?
Respect ... is appreciation of the separateness of the other person, of the ways in which he or she is unique.

oh my....I can only imagine what it was like in that car ride home for you, luise, and for kirk!  Oh sweet relief and an overwhelming feeling of giving thanks it must have been.
