Explanation of blog title

I am extremely new to blogging so for those of you that are veterans, please be patient with me and share any suggestions that you have! I have been meaning to start blogging for quite a while now!

First and foremost, I really need to explain the title of this Blog.... More Than A Diagnosis! We have been through the diagnostic process for a long time. Doctors have tried to piece the puzzle pieces together to get the entire picture or pictures, but have yet to actually do that. The other day I began to ponder on our journey with the doctors, medical, a false MSBP accusation and just all of the things we have been through. I began to realize what doctors just often do not realize... my kids are so much MORE than a diagnosis! The first thing the doctors want to know is just what diagnoses have been made. Too often they are not looked at like 3 fun loving, adorable, beautiful children who I want the absolute best in love for! They are looked at like specimens trying to find every little thing that is wrong with them. Oh yes, I know there are lots of things going on and I do not deny that! However, I have come to the point that I try to enjoy every single moment with them. Life is all too short! None of us know what the future holds, so I want to savor each moment, each milestone no matter how late, and each time I am told "I Love You" even if not in those words with their little voices. They SHOW me how much they love me everyday in countless other ways, and I am quick to let them know in actions and in words just how much I love them as well.

This blog wil have all of those moments that I savor and cherish each day in my heart. I will also share some medical stuff on here but not in a lot of details as much as our FEELINGS on the things we go through everyday in raising 3 special needs children. It sure isn't an easy road... So many do not understand. I hate to say that even a lot of times family members do not understand. I just hope I can help someone else and give those without special needs children a looking glass into what our lives are like from day to day.... Enjoy!
