LMKuhn76's Journal

Well! My last update here was in August of 2008. If I were to try to journal everything that's happened in my life since then, I'd have to write a good size book!   So let's skip that...

I fell away from sites like DS and support groups, sites, etc because I fell into a major depressive episode in the late Spring of 2008. For a few months I had been trying really hard to keep it a secret from others and even from myself. I believe it was partly post-partum, having giving birth to my youngest daughter (Amy-Leigh) on January 26th, 2008. Eventually, hiding it and ignoring it wasn't possible and very much not helpful. 

Then, aside from the things I was going through myself... there were several things happening around me as well. My now 4 year old daughter had open heart surgery in April 2008 and we had more appointments it seemed after the surgery than ever before. She's now in occupational and physical therapy, is followed by an early interventionist and began preschool in July this year. She sees a developmental psychiatrist and was recently assessed by psychology for her cognitive abilities. Next week she has an appointment with an eye surgeon... It's been a never ending in-and-out of the hospital with her and it saddens me so much that my little girl goes through so much. 

Well like I wrote above, there are dozens of things that have happened but re-hashing it all doesn't seem to make any sense so that's all for now. Thanks to all who remembered me here. I have about 15 pages of hugs and I don't think I'll get to return them all but thank you very much to each and every one of you for your kindness and reaching out to me.
