@2011panc I am so sorry for what you went through. To me, there could be nothing worse than when your child is sick, and to have that child have a life-threatening condition must have been incredibly difficult.
I admire the strength you have had during that time and now. I am so happy that your child is doing well now, but as a mother, our worry never ceases. I have constant underlying worries also.

@contentandwell Thank you. I am grateful every day for God giving me the ability to maintain focus and work through it without falling into a full-on panic. I did experience my first full panic attack during this year, but it happened for me at home alone while my children were being cared for my family or in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). It was quite disorienting to find myself in a part of the house I had not been in in a posture and activity completely strange to me. I remember thinking "this is bizarre, I can't do this again." I already had a good spiritual faith base, so that helped quite a lot and still does every day. I have a lot of personal mantras, probably the one I use most is that "I willingly trust and put my life and will in God's hands." Blessings to you and prayers for ease of your worries.
