I'm the mother of a 1 year old and 4 year old and was just diagnosed with POTS after being sick for most of the last year. My older son especially doesn't understand why mommy can't do the things she used to do. He loves books, so I'm definitely going to check this out.

Are you on the POTS fb page? I agree-- faith in God has been essential. It's hard to realize and accept that my plan for my life is not always the Lord's plan for my life. It has been a very humbling experience for sure! Nice to "meet" another Potsie mom. Feel free to shoot me an email: mommycantdance36@gmail.com. Thanks!

I suffered with POTS before I had kids and again now that I have 4. It's a whole different sticky mess when your illness affects others and not just yourself. The guilt of what you would like to do but simply cannot hurts more than the physical pain. It has taken me 12 years but I feel like I am finally getting to a place of peace. I could not do this without firm faith in God and a complete dependable on Him. I'm glad you are finding your peace. Maybe our kids should play together while we lay down:)Danica McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241006263489942592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1747345859972295854.post-73446273706194215592016-05-31T17:17:53.777-06:002016-05-31T17:17:53.777-06:00Thanks, Bonnie!Thanks, Bonnie!MommyCan'tDancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488243118978285681noreply@blogger.com
