Uniquely Created

We discovered a few years ago that our oldest was a little more unique then other children her age.  We went through our share ups and downs, our share of "Why?" and "How?" and our share of specialists, therapies and testings. 

What we have learned is that, we still don't have answers to the "Why?" or "How?" but that is OK.  We realize that she was created with God knowing that this would happen and He chose her for a special reason.  She is delightful, compassionate and the friendliest 12yr old I've ever met.  She has a neuromuscular disorder called Hypotonia and an auditory processing disorder referred to as CAPD.  She has had to go through several years of PT and OT to get her body caught up with her age.  She is very smart and learns differently then other kids her age so we have decided to home school her and her sister so that we can cater more to her needs in learning.

This blog is to share with others the grace that God has given us in realizing that there is no such thing as a "normal child".  All children are unique and special.  In this blog, I am also going to encourage her to share with you her feelings about how she is unique and I would love to hear from others who have the wonderful blessing of raising children.
