    Patrick Baldwin

    Patrick J. Baldwin was born on July 30, 1965 in Vallejo, California. He is the youngest of three children. He spent his early childhood in Connecticut; the state he calls home. He graduated from high school in 1984 from Northbrook High School in Houston. He held numerous jobs after high school until sixteen years later he found his calling. He became an LVN in 1997 and has been working as a LVN/Surgical Technologist in one of the South’s largest hospital systems ever since. Patrick plays the piano, is always trying to whittle down the stack of books by his bed, loves to cook, enjoys composing music on his computer, and has learned over the years that writing is not only enjoyable, but therapeutic. He loves to write about real-life events mixed with fiction and some of his own dreams and fantasies. He got his joy of reading and writing from his mother, Joyce, who passed away in 2010 from a failed liver transplant. He misses her terribly and dedicates all of his writing to her. For comments, rants, and raves, Patrick can be contacted at pjbaldwin1965@att.net

      Prelude

      Having worked for close to 20 years with those in our society that are considered some of the most vulnerable, I wanted to write this book to offer Biblical Guidance for the Christian Parent.

      Often times we may become overwhelmed with the thoughts, responsibilities, and day to day grind that having a special needs child can bring to your life. It is critical to see Your Child through the Eyes of God and to Keep Your Focus on Jesus Christ along the Way.

      I truly Pray that this book will be a Blessing to You and Your Family and hope that You will share it with other Christian Parents who may be also dealing with the challenges of Parenting a Special Needs Child.

      God Bless You

      Chapter 1: You Are Going to be the Parent of a Special Needs Child

      When we see the little line on the pregnancy test saying there is a baby growing inside of you, the last thing you probably think about (or one of the last things) is whether or not your baby will have special needs when it comes to their physical, mental, or emotional wellbeing.

      You aren’t thinking about whether or not you will be able to afford special equipment they might need to live. You aren’t thinking about what your insurance will and won’t cover and what kind of help you can get to make up the difference. You aren’t thinking about whether or not your house will ‘work’ for a wheelchair, if your boss will allow you to work from home or how you will juggle work and five or six doctor’s appointments a month (or possibly in a week). You aren’t thinking about the fact that your baby—the one you’ve just ‘met’—is one of the millions of children in this country that will receive some form of special education when he or she goes to school. And that’s providing he or she can go to school.

      No, you aren’t thinking about those things at all. You are thinking about whether the baby is a boy or girl, when the due date will be, who to share the happy news with first (other than your spouse, of course), and you even start rolling possible names around in your mind. In other words, your thoughts are focused on the joy that comes from bringing a new baby into this world.

      Well guess what? Bringing a new baby into this world regardless of whether or not they have special needs is a joy. Each and every tiny little life that takes their first breath after working their way into this world is a cause for celebration and joy because we are all fearfully and wonderfully made by the LORD God, our Creator.

      Nevertheless, learning your child has special needs—whether you find out prior to or immediately after their birth, or a few months or years down the road—is difficult. Your love for your child instinctively wants them to be ‘normal’. You don’t want them to have to struggle. You don’t want them to have to go through the experience of feeling different from the rest of the kids or to experience the loneliness often felt from being left out of so many things kids like to do. You don’t want to see the hurt in their eyes and know their hearts are breaking when they are made fun of or ostracized by their peers.

      What’s more, you can’t help worrying about how their condition or circumstances is going to affect your life and the lives of other family members. And then you start feeling guilty for feeling and thinking that way; making you even more anxious. Am I right? You know I am. But the GREAT news is that it is perfectly normal and okay to feel and think these things—as long as you are near enough to Jesus to dump it all at His feet so
