It has been a busy month of Streaking, but I am so glad I did it. My original intent was to record our history and spread awareness, but I'm thrilled to have raised some money as well. I appreciate those who donated. (It's not too late...click here to contribute!)
Earlier today, Robbie's physical therapist was here for a visit, and we had an interesting conversation. She made a comment about what a proactive parent I was, and how I didn't seem scared or overwhelmed by the whole process--we moved last year, so she wasn't familiar with my experiences during the first year of Robbie's diagnosis and therapy. She was shocked as I described to her what my feelings were a couple years ago--confusion, intimidation, depression, etc. It was gratifying to realize that most of those things have changed in time.
The two and a half years has not been something that I would necessarily want to do again, but I am extremely grateful for the experience.

I just have to tell you....your site is amazing. Though we do not have the same diagnosis for our daughter there are very similar feelings I share as a mom. I found your site in part because I was looking for ideas for ours. You are a great mom and your son is where he is today because of you. I can't wait to get our site going.
