Dr. Mom

A blog written by a special needs mom, disciple of Christ, writer, business owner, and wife – from special needs thoughts to spiritual reflections, this is a safe place for me to share.

“How to explain, the instinct that washes over me.
The doctors, they come.
The nurses - they sometimes care.
But I’m the one,
Who’s Dr Mom.

I know more, I see more.
I see when she holds her breath -
I see when her eyes become tired.
The seizures? They’re sub-clinical.
But sometimes, I see those too.

Her eyes, I watch them.
Her little hands,
I watch their every move.
You say I have no training -
you’ve been in school for years.
But I held her inside me,
for ten long months -
I felt her every move.
There’s something about a mother with a baby -
She’s the smartest expert there is.
Trust yourself -
you know your baby best.
Don’t be ashamed,
to be Dr. Mom.”

The Holidays as a Mom- Different than What I Expected As I’ve crossed passed childhood and into adulthood in the past 10 years, it has become clear to me that holidays seem to carry grief and hardship more than joy and peace. This obviously is a general statement, and it is limited to my own […]

Chicken Noodle Soup for children with a g-tube!

January 2, 2025July 22, 2025 Sylvia3

Let’s Be Real Every time I go to post a recipe on my blog, I hesitate since I don’t have professional pictures or fancy ways to explain certain ingredients. Yet, that is exactly the point I’m trying to make – you don’t have to be “cool” or monetarily driven to be successful in simple ways […]

Dear DME: A Letter to Durable Medical Equipment Companies

December 15, 2024December 15, 2024 Sylvia0

Two years ago I began a journey filled with meds and things, supplies and vents – the term “DME” was a stranger to me, I had no idea what it stood for. Now, DME is in my daily life – it’s making a difference in my life. This post is for you – the durable […]

Accepting the Position of Dr. Mom – Part 2

December 8, 2024December 8, 2024 Sylvia4

It is amazing how God uses the most unexpected sources to give us peace in the midst of hardship. For example, learning how to say no, learning how to stay in the moment, etc. etc. We don’t expect an answer to our prayer that involves our child being diagnosed with a rare condition. I didn’t, […]
