I just have to take my hat off to all you amazing mums (and dad's) of sick bubs. You need a huge hug for the times when it gets you down, and the biggest round of applause for being such incredible carers, advocates, and mums.

Also have to thank you, as you keep me sane. Brigid has a few annoy yet mild health concerns and whenever I start to get overly stressed and upset this little voice in my head pipes up with "What about Shannon and Jessalyn", "What about Natalie and her dd and all the other kids, what about MAZ, .....", the list just goes on.

It is a real reality check for me at times and gives me untold strength to keep muddling along. Without you and the sharing of your experiences I just don't know how I could do it, you are an inspiration to me and my lifeline.
