I'm a Christian mother of a 10-year-old autistic boy. I have a rare muscle illness which causes weakness and stiffness in the muscles in both of my legs, because of which I can only walk a very short distance at a go at home. I'm not able to leave home for years. Medical doctors have not been able to cure this. However, slowly but surely it got better with time - until last spring, when my son hurt it badly. He has severe meltdowns.
Unfortunately in the last few months my condition has got more and more severe.
I experience intense pain and great muscle weakness. There are days when I'm not able to stand up for hours. This makes our days very tough.
My son's behavior doesn't help me get better.. He sometimes hurts me in his meltdowns, and also it can be very stressful to handle his challenging behavior - sometimes all day..
My husband has been angry with me since I am sick (for 7 years..) and he expresses it in many various ways, which is also very hard for me.
This whole situation makes me very unhappy, and nowadays gloomy and depressed.
I must take care of my son and also I'd very much like to go outside at last to get fresh air and see all the wonders of God. However, I trust the Lord who surely planned good for us.
I pray firstly for recovery from my nasty illness, development of my son's condition and that He may show me his intention..
Please pray for us, pray for God to heal me from my illness and to help us through all this trouble.
Thank you.
