Happy 7th Birthday Finnian

Wow love I cannot believe you are 7 years old today it just seems like yesterday I popped you out and held my breath hoping you would cry. You did cry and even though your normal life is different from everyone else I am so proud of you. You have had your up's and down's and there was a time or two or three I just didn't know if you had any fight left in you but you didn't give up

So my little Warrior Happy Birthday

Love Mammy

Why?

You know its the same thing we get asked each and every time we put Finnian forward for some type of surgery or treatment "WHY?". The answer is just like you he is entitled to the best quality of life that we can give him. Everything we have done, every surgery, every treatment even every pill we shove in to him is to help him have his "normal" life.
Now we are going to try botox treatments to see if we can get his hamstrings loosened up and hopefully avoid surgery. It might work and then again it might not and he will end up having surgery anyways but at least we tried. Am I nervous, scared? Hell yeah I am. It means he has to have anesthesia in order to get the botox and for anyone that is a nerve racking deal.
So instead of asking "WHY?" why don't you say " I hope he will get the best out of the treatment".
