My son has had a crummy cough due to a cold or allergies for several
days. This morning, he was coughing so hard that he called up to me and
told me that he had just v*. I was totally calm and didn't have a panic
attack!! The thinking part of my brain (I believe it is the frontal cortex [:
D] ) told me that it was just from coughing so hard. Any other time, the
fight or flight part of my brain (my brain stem) would have thrown me
into a full blown panic attack!!! I felt like it was just like he had told me
that he won on a video game! YEAH!!!
I can't say that it would have been the same if he was continuing to v* and
it was a sv*, but baby steps are good, right?
I wish, now, that my hubby would recognize the progress and say
something like, "Wow, I can see how you are improving! Way to go!!" But,
I won't hold my breath. I know that he's got to see a difference because I
used to obsess about it and bother him like crazy about it, constantly
asking him, "Do you think he's ok? Do you think it's a sv*? Do you think
we will get it? Do you think that he would have v* again by now?" I drove
the poor many crazy!!! [img]smileys/smilies_11.gif[/img]So, I would LOVE for him to see progress
that I'm making!
Since that probably won't happen, I will just share my triumph with all of
you who truly understand!!!! [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]
