When a baby learns to crawl, do you make it feel guilty for not walking? Or do you say "great job! and enjoy the progress, only then slowly moving toward standing, walking and running?

 

Yes, there may be more you can do. But one step at a time. You do have 3 other kids who deserve your attention and nurturing. So pace yourself, have reasonable expectations, savor the progress and in time, you will accomplish everything you need to.

You are her mom and from what it sounds like you have helped her tremendously. I know how you feel you just want the best and nothing but the best for her . There are times I look down on my iPod with head hanging and praying dear god help my children and help me help them. You are the mom you has done nothing but the best for you dd. You have helped her!! Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a great big hug for all you have done and for all your love! I am so happy to hear she is doing better!! Guilt follows many of us but you have to remember we could only stretch are hands out to a point. Think about all you have done and just watch her smile! That smile is because if you.
