Trust me, I am not kidding...
Was my response to one to my friends during his visit to our place one fine day somewhere Christmas last year. He could not believe my son was 5 years old. He thought he was a super genius 2.5 years old or 3 years old boy who could talk so fluently and with a good command of language.
I did not want to say it but in the end I told him my son was diagnosed failure to thrive due to his congenital issue since born. His lung was not complete size so his entire system worked double, using up alot of calories which my son could not successfully eat enough for that amount of calorie.
He asked me whether was I worry about his future?
That question, my friend, was THE question I tried to avoid. Trust me, my friend. I worried. I cried. I read up the hows and the do's and don'ts. I was stressed before. I tried my best. But it didn't change his height and weight to abit except I was inviting alot of stress into my life. SO I LET GO! I leave it to the nature to take its course. I see him enjoy his daily life. I am happy. And I am learning to enjoy my life together on daily basis.
Now that he is 6 years old, still small in size, like 4 years old. Do I still have silent worry? Trust me, my friend. I have my slots of worry thoughts every single day, but I have learned to quickly brush it off and to enjoy the moment. Moments which last forever. Worry won't do a thing. So I enjoy every moment with my son.

God bless you guys. You son looks like he's a trip. Just in those two pics you can see is creativity, and love for life. I'm glad you've been able to hand you're worries to God, life, or the universe. Faith frees us to live. I've been working on giving thanks for my blessings. Life keeps trying to distract me, and keep me from remembering that I'm blessed. Thank you for sharing your story. It'll be blessed to read, a few decades down the road. How our world has been blessed by your family's presence in this it. :)
As mothers we spend a lot of time worrying even though our child is big and strong.
I just had a conversation with my mom about my youngest son who suffer from extreme aezema and constant care on his diet and continuous moisturising of his body is a MUST. She worries all the time especially now that I'm working overseas.
I choose to let nature work for itself and allow his antibody to fight the toxin within himself. I do not wish to use steroids though that's what most skin specialist tell us. I have faith that God will heal him in his own way just as how you are with your son. We can only continue to have faith that our children will heal and be stronger in time
