Update on my son!

[Chinaadventure]

Good morning all I hope everybody has a great day today and finds peace in their recovery and in their struggles. My son went to the doctor yesterday and it seems that the only option at this point is for him to have major surgery. He has some time to think about it it's not something that needs to happen immediately. But as a parent it was very frustrating to see him so dejected and so frustrated with what's going on with his body. I had a pretty good day yesterday up until about 3:00 about an hour before his appointment and my anxiety kicked in full force. I did everything that I could to hold it together and to get him to the appointment and to sit there and talk with the doctor, I then came home and crashed. I'm praying and hoping for a better day for him and for me as well. I have a bunch of meetings this morning so it's going to keep me occupied and keep me distracted which is a good thing. It's hard enough to deal with my own recovery and then have this on top of it. But as a parent I will not let my child suffer alone! Have a great day all! Stay strong, keep moving forward, recognize the small steps and be thankful we have each other! ❤️💪🙏

Way to make it through the day for your son. You are very strong!! That couldn't have been easy. What are you doing to manage your anxiety? Things like breathing techniques and meditation, over time, bring down overall anxiety levels and teach the brain to be in a more restful state. Exercises like yoga and Tai Chi are meditations for the body and the mind, and they help do away w excess energy that gets stored up. Yoga Nidra is a type of meditation that you do in bed, it's in between asleep and awake, and very soothing. I like Ally Boothroyd's voice, she has lots of vids on YouTube... I'm sorry that your son is going through so much. You are a very strong and loving mum...
