    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]

    congratulations! i think that's awesome, especially since you recognized the difference, why he v* in the first place.





    you're doing good!!!

    I just talked to my hubby and my son is swinging and playing outside! I
    am sure that we could have sent him to school, since it really just
    drainage from allergies, but, hey, wouldn't we all love a little bonus day!

    I think my hubby is upset that he had to change his day all around, but I
    couldn't get a substitute that late for my class. I know how frustrating it
    is, but I have had to do it a million times before. I think if he admits it, he
    is glad to have a day at home, as well.

    Thanks for your support!
