Literally searching for answers

When I am searching the internet for blogs and personal stories, I am looking for one of a few things 1) answers to help diagnose my son, 2) answers to help cure/improve my son’s condition, and 3) stories I can relate to. We all want to not feel alone on this journey. Even though our children are all different, it is always affirming to find other kids and parents with similar experiences. It is encouraging to know others have already traveled down the long, winding path and everything ended up okay OR that others are down in the trenches dealing with the same tough situations we are. We want to read those stories to lift us up and help us get through the next day/week or to have the strength to OWN the next day/week/month. It would be nice to be able to look into the crystal ball and know everything will be okay. I know every parent, regardless of their child’s needs, wishes for this. Instead, we all make the best choices we can given the resources and options we have available to us. And if you are like me, you continue to troll the web looking/searching/hoping the answers are out there waiting for you to stumble upon them.
