We ache so much for every challenge our children have because we love them so much. I'm not surprised your daughter took the diagnosis so well--now she knows what the problem is & that she's not stupid! It can be very uplifting. If you ever saw the Cosby show--remember all the daughters excelled in school & the boy didn't. In the later shows they find he's dyslexic--it's a very good series of shows on dealing with it. It can be overcome! Thanks for sharing Renee, MeredithM. S.

I know this hasn't been easy journey & many times the question "why" has probably surfaced. But you have been an awesome role model to Madeline & she is now showing what she has witnessed through her desire to acheive even greater things. She will not be defined by this diagnosis.....she will surpass it & continue to inspire others to not give up.
