Each day without pain is a gift!!

on May 21, 2013

Each day without pain is a gift!! Kathryn’s CRPS pain continues to be zero!

Until now I have not been able to grasp words or feelings. Until now I have just put one foot in front of the other. But this morning I walk past her room and she is not on her bed!  She is in school today, still tired and sometimes sore, but no torturing pain!

Now the tears come! Now feelings finally surface! Finally, release! Five years of watching my baby in pain and not being able to help! Dear God you gave me the strength I needed each day! You walked beside me!

Many of you spent much time with Kathryn in the last five years where she made sure that you could not see her pain. I was nearly always aware of it. She was always with it.

Much learning and life was missed and right now that does not worry or sadden us. How can it when I look at her bed and I look at the couch and she is NO LONGER LYING THERE IN PAIN!
