Jacob’s Journal – My Journey Home
When I first learned of my son’s diagnosis when I was four months
pregnant, I knew that I wanted to document everything.
Being a first-time mom and knowing that there was going
to be a lot of medical information told to us, I decided
I wanted to keep a journal.
So I kept a journal, documenting all the different procedures,
medicines and day-by-day events that lead up to my son’s
first surgery at 16 days old.
After we got home and a whole new routine of therapies and
doctor visits took place I still kept my journal, well as best I could.
So I decided I wanted to write a book to share our story
with other parents who were given the news that their child
will have a disability.
This story is unique in the way I wrote it, since I chose to
write it as if my son was telling the story. This story will take you
on an incredible faith-filled journey as a family enters the world of
having a child with special needs.
