I understand that weight. And I hope you are encouraged by all the responses. I too am working through all those fears/worries about my two and half yr old daughter. Perhaps us mothers feel things more keenly because we carried these little gems for nine months.

I certainly don't want to use this board as an opportunity to promote my own religious beliefs, but honestly- God has carried me through this. There are days when I say Lord, this is too much...You can and You must help me today!! I must lay those fears, those burdens at His feet every morning. The alternative is misery, sleeplessness,etc. Am I a weakling? Perhaps, but I don't care. Afterall He has done for our family, I cannot be ashamed or embarrassed to give Him the credit or the glory.

   God is the ultimate scientist, biologist, physician, endocrinologist, pediatrician...and He knows the ins and outs of her  body like no doctor ever will. And that's my comfort.

Alright- enough said. Your daughter already has an advantage in life- parents who love her dearly. And there are kids in the world who would give anything for someone to care for them like you care for your little petunia.  Sorry for babbling- I just feel your worries with you. My husband at this point would be giving me the "cut it" signal, so I better sign off!:) Hope you haven't taken offence- take it for what's it's worth to you.
