Yardie Party!!! Come as you are - Part 1

[kjenkins86 5]

KJ, echo what sugarapple & Dan_Dan said. ALL things happen for a reason, even if we don't figure out the reason until next week, next year, 20 years later, or ever.

Thanks for the encouragement!

KJ, just as everyone has already said...God can make the impossible possible. We are here for you and Smiley.You don't have to go through this alone. Adian has so many prayers going up for him and Auntie Sheia and Uncle Den are certified baby sitters anytime! Keep the faith. If you need anything...you already know...

Amen Dan-Dan!!!

Thanks Ash!

I went ahead & straightened my hair. Now it'll be a matter of keeping it straight until Saturday evening.

You look soo different!

KJ let me tell you a quick story, I know these 2 ladies that was in this car on rainy day. In the car also was one of the ladies 2 kids and the other lady baby daddy and she was pregnant. Some how turning a corner the car lost control. There was a bad accident. The man in the car died instantly and the 2 year old boy in the car was knock out and barely breathing. When they were rushed to the hospital the child was in a coma. For the next 3 weeks, the lady had several chances to take her child off life support because the dr said he would have permanent damage from the swelling and be mentally retarded. Alot of her family was telling her it might be best. She still wanted her child and didnt care for the outcomes except for him to be alive. After 2 months he came out the coma, and was just like the dr said. Very challenging but the lady did all she could to research and get the help that was offered from this terrible tragedy.

This happened in 1997, These ladies were 2 of my older sisters. My nephew just turned 16. He is a miracle blessing and is trying to be really independent. He tries real hard but who I commend most is my sister, she has had 2 kids after him and still treats him no different from the other 3, and makes sure dont know one else treat him any different!

I also have a friend that had twins and 4 months later they were in a car accident. One came out without a scratch, but the other was paralyzed from the waist down. Its hard having a child with challenges but the parents have to be strong, That girl is now 21 and very independent. Her mother still has to change and bathe her but other than thsat she do everything for herself in that motorized chair. My friend took that vowel that she will help her daughter for the rest of her life, and so did my sister because thats what you do when you bring a child in this world.

Nothing is guaranteed ///kj and I want you to remember that its all a gamble in God's world and we have to pray abd get through!!!

You were on my mind now and its 3am and I had to comment on this and God sent me to this website http://www.nfxf.org/html/home.shtml

National Fragile X Foundation

Currently there is no definitive, single treatment for Fragile X. However, there are a variety of ways to help minimize the symptoms of the condition. Children with Fragile X who receive appropriate education, behavioral or physical therapy, and medication have the best chance of using their individual capabilities and skills. Even those with significant mental retardation can learn to master many self-help skills.

There is ignorance with lack of education remember that hun and study all you can with this for your and hubby's sake and beat this. The devil so busy trying to discourage us with anything thats not perfect hell we aint perfect. But this little boy just wants to live and see the world and get love and I know for a fact you will spoil him.

OK talked enough this morning back to sleep til I have to get up in 2 hours

Who is this sexy lady !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get it girl,

i looks really cute

Steven gone sweat it out this weekend lol

This story touched my heart in many ways just like Dan Dan's story did and I thank you so much for taking the time out to make a point. However, I'm just scared, scared that I might not be able to handle it, scared that I might break and quit, just scared. As of now I'm confused and haven't got a clue on where to turn or what to do next...

[DedicatedWife 4]

God is so good. Thanks for the encouragement JQ...it was on time and I needed this as well!

KJ, you're going to go through a range of emotions...just know to take things one day at a time and educate yourself with as much information as possible and prayer! Love ya!

[Dan-Dan 1]

:DGood Morning KJ!!!

[MRStee 19]

Goodmorning yardies! Hope we're having a wonderful start to our week

As some of you already know, I found out that I'm a carrier for fragile x and ended up having to test the baby to see if he would be affected or not. Just got the results this morning and unfortunately he is going to be mentally retarded.

As for myself, I'm pretty confident that its not the end of the world but I'm worried about my husband because he's not saying much about how he feels about it. As some of you may know, Jamaicans have a tainted picture on mentality, they don't believe it exists and they describe it with one or two words "fool or mad man/woman"

Have a good day everyone.

Krys, Im there for you... smiley better not make me go there!!!

Good Morning KJenkins86 ,

I am SOOO sorry that you are going through this!!! But I have some good news, believe in GOD and all things are possible.... I had a similar experience with my older daughter, the doctors told me that She would be born with Trisomy 8 I am not even sure that I spelled it correctly but I under went sooooo many test and the amnio that the DR's concluded that my child would b mentally challaged and would not live past 3 years of age and that I should consider have an abortion. I KEPT believing GOD and never allowed anyone to speak negatively about my situation. I just prayed and told God I wasnt sure that I could handle the challenge before me but I would follow his will and if that meant my child being mentally challenged I would expect His will and press forward but She was born with NO PROBLEMS beautiful and HEALTHY!!!!

Just Keep the Faith and All Things WILL WORK OUT FOR YOUR GOOD ! I will be PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

Dan-Dan, I was thinking along the same lines. Im glad you could share your experience with us. God bless you and your family

[NatPatBen 3]

Good morning, ladies!

It's a slow week at work, so I didn't rush this morning. I came in at about 9:30. LOL But my supervisor isn't here yet, either.

JQ, that story was truly touching. I know you meant it for KJ, but thanks for posting for all of us to see.

I like this look!! You look sooo different though!

What does Steven think?

He hasn't seen it yet. He's in Jamaica until Saturday.

Who is this sexy lady !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get it girl,

i looks really cute

Steven gone sweat it out this weekend lol

That's if it doesn't sweat out before then. Temperature will get to 82 degrees here today. Plus I'm going to New Orleans Thursday, where it's even more humid.

[JQ Smiley BOOM 3]

This story touched my heart in many ways just like Dan Dan's story did and I thank you so much for taking the time out to make a point. However, I'm just scared, scared that I might not be able to handle it, scared that I might break and quit, just scared.

Scared of course your scared. You should be worried. Even if the dr said that the baby was fine. understand KJ nothing is guaranteed.

Im scared to go into labor in the next few weeks , Im scared bringing home a baby that I dont know will cry all the time or sleep.

Im scared to pop this titty out and breastfeed for the first time.

Wasnt you scared when you went to JA for the first time and stayed with your hubby? With no friends or family

How about the time you started a new school and didnt know anyone? or a new job?

Thats how the baby feels, he dont know what or how you will act. But he is thriving on your love. Stop stressing about his condition because he can feel it. Give it to God!

Talk to him like nothing is different and loveeeeeeeeeeeee him honey just love him.

You always talk about a psychic, you need to leave that person along and PRAY!!!

Please KJ just pray for your situation and like Sugar said, dont speak anything negative over that baby.

He will be perfect you just watch!!!!!!

Love you!!!!

[MRStee 19]

Excuse you, his name is Aidan

Just kidding but your right Sugar.

At this point I'm trying my best to stay positive but its harder than I thought.

Thank you hon.

Well thats our job to keep you amused and ya spirits up! So snap out of it missy!

KJ, just as everyone has already said...God can make the impossible possible. We are here for you and Smiley.You don't have to go through this alone. Adian has so many prayers going up for him and Auntie Sheia and Uncle Den are certified baby sitters anytime! Keep the faith. If you need anything...you already know...

Good morning VJ family!

I hope that everyone has a GREAT holiday and remember that Christmas is not just on the 25th but its all year round, because we have to give and be forgiving to one another! It doesn't always have to be giving in the material since.. Just like Dan-Dan, Mrs. P and JQ! gave KJ the gifts of sharing their personal experiences with us!!!!! Let's remember to build each other up and not break each other down!

Oh and my university needs to stop playing and post my dayum grades LOL

Hey KJ! Just wanted to say bless up. Remember... Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. ~Proverbs 3:5. You are blessed and highly favoured. Regardless of the outcome, trust in the Lord. You're strong, and the three of you will be just fine. Remember your VJ sisters are here if you need someone to talk to.
