It wasn't until hours later as I was replaying in my memory how odd she is that I remembered tyler ! How could I have forgotten all that boy has put me thru mentally and emotionally. Why did all that not come to me when she said "I hope nothing ever happens to your kid like this". How did I not tell her my 2 year old came out with his maxilla bone sticking over his nose, he has logged over 15 hours of anesthesia time, he has completed 5 different surgeries, had feeding and breathing problems, not to mention,,, STILL DOES NOT SLEEP THRU THE NIGHT !!! How did 2 years of nursing him to health totally slip my mind? How I would love to go back and have that same conversation with her again. Yes, dramatic mother of a almost adult child,, I have been thru hell and back with my third child, my only boy. Born with a facial difference that we will be fighting to correct nearly his whole life. Yes, I do get asked at public parks from other children why his nose is smooshed in. Yep, this mama has been through the ringer with her son and I would sign up to do it again in a heartbeat. Tyler has more personality and spunk in his little 2 year old body than she could ever imagine to possess. He is a lover, fighter, and passionate about life. He may never be able to blow bubbles, or play the trumpet, but I can tell you Tyler will take life head on and not sweat the small stuff,, cause he has already conquered more things than she could ever imagine doing!!!Friends have told me during these 2 years that we were given Tyler because we could handle all that will come with his differences. I never believed it until today,,,
