Hi, Cathy.

Congratulations! Becoming a grandparent must be very exciting for you!

I am a step-grandparent to the children of my stepsons from a previous marriage. I love them both very much. They both had their first children within the past two years.

I have never held my step grandson. I didn’t want to hold my step granddaughter, but she was thrust into my arms, fortunately with a blanket between myself and her. I immediately turned her over to someone else.

I have spoken to both of my stepsons and explained to them why I couldn’t hold the baby. I am closer to one of my stepsons, and I told him the entire truth. He was very compassionate and told me that he would respect my desire to not have personal contact with his daughter. I told him that I could still love the baby without holding her...that, actually, not holding her was an expression of my love for her. I would never want to harm her or anyone else.

I know there are other people who have held their grandchildren, but I am personally not comfortable with it, mainly because there are things we don’t really know about Morgellons. I think everyone has to decide for themselves what they want to do when it comes to family.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Jamie

Hi everyone,

I am looking forward to the call on Sun. by then my iphone should be fixed.

Any day now we will be grandparents for the first time and we are thrilled.
The hard part is that I won't be able to touch the baby or babysit until I am recovered.

Any advice is much appreciated!

Thank you, Cathy aka Sleeping Beauty
