Essay / Having a disabled child - 1384
When Andy was born, I was the happiest woman in the world. When I saw her beautiful face and her little body, I cried, I will never forget this moment. We stayed in the hospital for three days. That first night back from the hospital, Andy did nothing but cry all night. I didn't know what to do, it was my first child and I didn't know how to calm him down. I called the doctor and he explained that this was normal behavior for a firstborn and that he just needed to adapt to the new environment. I would feed Andy his milk, change his diaper, hold him, sing him songs, but nothing would stop Andy from crying. We didn't sleep much. That week my husband had to work, so I had to look after Andy alone, which was frustrating. Finally, after about a week, Andy gave up. His father couldn't even go near him because he started crying again, because Andy couldn't be held or fed by anyone but me. I had to spend every minute of the day with him to the point that I had to put a mattress in his room so I could get some sleep. I slept in his room for a whole year. There hasn't been much change in Andy's behavior over the course of this year. The Doctor didn't know what was wrong with him and I didn't know what I was going to do. Taking care of Andy was a full-time job for me. Since Andy was born, my lifestyle has changed. My husband, Jack, started working long hours because he didn't want to stay home and take care of Andy.

My relationship with my husband was also falling apart because we never had a good time together. My whole life was one big disaster in Cabarcas 2, but every time I saw Andy's face, he made my heart smile. Andy was a year old and he didn't talk much, I was worried, but the doctor told me to wait a little longer. month because boys take a little longer than girls to start talking, so I did. Despite all the frustration and despair, I still showed Andy a lot of love. My husband also realized he was being selfish by leaving all the responsibility to me. He took on the responsibility of caring for Andy so that he could become closer to him. Andy was very aggressive at times and every time his father tried to touch him he would get away from his father and start running... middle of paper ...... ee and a half. In the near future, I want Andy to go to a specialized school where he can learn more than he has already done so far. ENDI chose this disability because I have a friend who has an autistic child and I sometimes look after her. This child is a wonderful child. I babysit him with his sister and they are so cute together. I really love these kids. I don't ask their mother for money to take care of them; I just like spending time with them. All this kid likes is to go out and play, and when he gets tired, he comes to me, takes my hand and shows me what he wants. He talks a lot more now than he did a year ago. He is a child that I admire because he has come such a long way and overcome many obstacles. I really enjoyed writing this Cabarcas 5 article because I have never put myself in this situation and it is not at all easy to take care of a disabled child on a daily basis. It's a challenge that I don't know if I'm ready to take on. I was afraid to write this article at first because I was afraid this would happen to me, but I leave everything in God's hands.
