I never in a million years thought that I would receive a special needs child from God. At first my reaction was, "Oh my gosh...I can't deal with this...this is too much for me to handle!" It certainly doesn't help matters when all the doctors are telling me constantly that my baby is going to be mentally retarded (I HATE that word) and have seizures and so on. As time goes by I thank God that He gave me Kaylee. I realize that it was a blessing to get this beautiful, wonderful, happy little baby. Even if I could go back in time and change things so she wouldn't have microcephaly and be completely "normal" I wouldn't do it. Yes, I have went through a lot of difficult times, but I have also had a lot of funfilled happy times with Kaylee! I have also met a lot of wonderful people and this has brought me closer to a lot of people that I had started to drift away from. I have realized that God gave me Kaylee the way that she is for a reason. God will only give you what you can handle. I have learned so much about how many other people are dealing with the same things that I am and things a million times worse. Everyday I pray that Kaylee will keep doing as well as she is doing now...but if things happen to change me and her Daddy will always be there for her!
