You Don't Need 10 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798894195391)

"She only has one hand; my husband said to me. I had just awoken from recovery, so I was a little foggy. "What?" "She's missing her right hand; he said. 1 I looked at him and said, "Are you kidding? That's not funny." "I'm not kidding, honey. There's a doctor waiting outside to talk to us: ' I immediately broke down. How, as a mother, did I not i know? I just saw her!

I thought to myself. I guess they only let me see her for a few seconds and I didn't even get to touch her. And now that I thought about it, she was wrapped in a blanket and only one little hand was sticking out, and then she and Russell were gone...

How did this happen? Why did this happen? How does a baby not have io fingers and io toes?

"Where is she? I need her now!"

I am not a writer in the regular sense, I'm just a mom who journals. This is a testimony about what it's been like raising a limb-different child so far, from birth to kindergarten. It's hard to raise any child. But when your child is labeled as "different", it's a whole new ballgame. I hope you can find inspiration and comfort in these pages.
