Hey all, I posted on here a while ago and I just want those who read it and even those who didn't to know that you are stronger then you think. Last year I got married, gave birth and became a widow all in less then 6 months! And it doesn't stop there, lost my husband in August and then my son had a stroke in December at 8 months old. (He has a rare blood disorder that caused a clot in the brain) but my point is just as I was dealing with one crisis another came up. I had no idea rock bottom had a basement but it certainly does. Fast forward to now. I'm still here and my son is still in rehabilitation but he's coming along amazingly. I just want you to know that you don't know how strong you are until you really have no choice. If someone had told me all that was going to happen I would have said no way could I get through that but I did. One day at a time. One hour at a time. You've got this.

Wow you've been through a lot OP! I'm so glad your son is coming along really well. Make sure you look after yourself too.
