Hello everyone. I have a son that is 19 and a true blessing! His name is Wade. He has non-obstructive hydrocephelus, developmentally delayed, autistic, tube fed and osteopenia. Despite all of these physical and mental challenges he is the happiest child ever. He has taught me to slow down and appreciate the small things in life. We did not know if he would ever be able to speak. He does say "Mom" :) also "pat pat for patty cake. I have heard other things spoken but he won't repeat them. He folds his hands together at night for prayer. Life has had its challenges. Having a child with special needs can cause its share of hardships on relationships, physical health and spritually. God sees us through it all if we just have faith and put it all in His hands. Many a time I hear him laughing in his room and think "the angels are in there playing with him again " :). I am here for anyone who needs some support or help with finding resources. Hope you are all having a blessed day!

GUIDELINES FOR ROOM USE Please read these carefully.
Things to note: If you are using our network inappropriately, we are not hesitant to ban your membership. We always try to be fair, but the integrity of the ministry will never be risked due to posts or peddling of products, books, etc.
1) All are welcome but please remember that this is a Christian environment. Use discretion, compassion and wisdom with any postings.

Repeatedly posting about your own resources as part of engaging in conversations will be seen as advertising. For example, if it's obvious you are pasting the same welcome message to numerous people just so you can mention your 15-word footer, is not allowed. You are allowed a 15-word footer to your postings to let people know about your book, chat room, web site. For example, “Free download to a chapter of my book for the chronically ill see www.restministries.org”
4) Paid advertising is available for a very low cost for people or members wishing to reach Sunroom members with their message.
