"My gut is telling me that something is not right."  "Things don't feel right...my baby's little hand...his frightened crys...his frequent sicknesses..."  I would question, I would ponder, I would read...but found no validation.  Instead, from those that had knowledge so much more than my own...I would get patronizing responses like:  "All children are different."  and "All babies hit their milestones...eventually...don't worry..."  and..."You're stressing too much"

These are the typical responses. that I would recieve from those that I trusted to give me answers to my many questions...but...my questions seemed silly to most, and like I was an over-protective mother to say the least...and so the more questions I asked...the more I felt the fool...and so I became mute.  I tried to ignore my gut, and all the questions that I had in my head and in my heart, but I couldn't.  My subconscious seemed to know this and I started to have nightmares, and much trouble sleeping at night.

After 8 years of struggling, many doctors, therapists, books, ect. ect. ect....with not yet a clue or glimmer of anything that even resembled an answer to my question...the one that I have had since my child's birth...."What is wrong with my child?"   I finally found an answer, and I found someone finally...finally...that validated all my concerns...every last one of them.  And...then...my friends....we have started to move forward...and we have found accomplishment and great success.

The moral to this story is this:   "Always...always....listen to you Gut"   That, is a saying that has been around forever....and what is literally means is...."Listen to your Heart of Hearts always...and Trust in it."
