Mommy's Worst Fear

Every mother's worst fear is that there could be something wrong with her child. We hold our newborns in our arms and think to ourselves "I made it". My child is born healthy and the hard part is done." We feel this overwhelming love for our child. The need to protect them from all the bad in the world. We are tigers for our cubs and we want the very best for them to reach their full potential in life. We look at every "milestone" at each age..... 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, etc. We browse down the checklist eagerly making sure that our child meets each objective. As we check off each one we breathe a sigh of relief and say to ourselves "thank goodness my child is fine". That was my life until my precious son Aidan stopped meeting those important milestones. My happy, smiling, content little boy began to change.
