My name is Vickie. I decided to do this as a sort of therapy I suppose. I have two special needs children. Megan is 7 and Easton is 3. They both have Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type II. A big long name for a form of dwarfism that keeps my children the size of babies. They look and act like they are about 6-8 months old. They are my angels. It is not easy. I decided to stay home and take care of them instead of putting them in a home. I get depressed sometimes and I thought this would be a way to express my feelings without having to go anywhere. It hurts them to move so I try to stay at home as much as possible. I am 35 years old and I have 3 other children ranging in ages from 13 to 6. I never thought I would be able, mentally anyway, to take care of a child with special needs, more less two children. It is not impossible, I have found out things about myself I would have never known otherwise. Not to say there is not days when I am sure I am not handling my life's demands very well. I don't have alot of friends so I don't have many people to talk to, I am very shy and introverted. I am hoping that maybe this will not only help me but maybe help someone else who is in my same situation.
