This post is more about me than my wonderful family, however it can apply when having to deal with specialists or doctors regarding anyone. In recent months my heart has been beating faster than normal, they call it tachycardia, but the doctors have been unable to narrow down the root cause.
"It may be this. . . "
"Or it may be that. . . "
"You should give up these medications. . . "
"Oh but the repercussions would be bad if you gave up those medication. . . "
What it comes down to is listening to my mother-in-law who told me to listen to myself. I know my family. I know me and my history. As brilliant as doctors and specialists are they don't know me as well as I do. If something about their opinion doesn't "feel" right or sit well with you, then listen to your heart and trust your instincts.
So I'm going to trust myself and keep doing what I'm doing to get healthier.
As for my kids I once had someone tell me they though little Juniper was "normal", but I'm glad I listened to my heart these last few months. Whether or not he was "normal" when they saw him he is delayed now. So I'm glad that I listened to my heart and followed through on getting the help that I need.
So in the end trust your heart, your instincts, your conscience. . .whatever you call it, and go forth and conquer with no fear.
