We made our trek to Indy yesterday for the kids yearly Tourette's Syndrome check-up. There are going to be some changes and I pray that all goes well!! I have alot of anxiety and mixed emotions about the future and I hope and pray everyday that the Dr.'s are making the right decisions. But at this point I am at a loss and do not know what to do on my own, Usually being versed in the medical profession I have strong ideas and opinions on mine and my families healthcare, however at this point I have done and tried everything I know and am now leaving it in the hands of God and the Dr.'s.  Through the years I have watched my kids grow and strive and succeed in virtually every aspect of their lives from school to their behavior to their beliefs and I am sooo proud of them, No it is not easy and it never has been, but for our little (LOL) family our way has worked out magnificently.  And that has not changed.  I am so lucky to have the great children that I do,  I have been told from virtually every teacher they have ever had that our kids are the most responible,well behaved and socially adapted kids they have ever met, I believe this is a direct result of the way we have chosen to raise our kids. No we are not perfect but the decisions we have made have impacted our children positively and made them who they are today, yes they are exposed to outside influences as we are unable to shelter them from this world, but we have prepared them to deal with these situations and on occasion they have had to deal with less than desirable circumstances and I could not be more proud of how they have dealt with the situations. I cannot control the world we live in and I refuse to put rose colored glasses on my kids, the world is what it is and we will deal with it together one day at a time, I believe this is a behavior you must instill from day one, no it is not always ideal for a small child to see other kids doing wrong or acting undesirably but it is a fact of life and they need to know how to react and deal with these problems, the only way is to expose them to and discuss with them,these situations. This blog entry is in no way intended to be to or about anyone person, so please noone take offence, I just fealt compelled to express my feelings today, so please do not take this personally if you are reading this.  People who dont have children with Tourettes have no idea what that is like and I am very proud of how well adapted my children are, not only do they do well but they are excelling in society, everyone from their peers to teachers to Dr.s have expressed their amazement and belief in their success, lets hope it continues........I KNOW IT WILL!!! I HAVE SOME PRETTY AMAZING CHIDREN GOD HAS BLESSED ME TREMENDOUSLY   Sorry for the soap box today, just fealt like expressing myself today.
