Should I nominate my daughter for Make-A-Wish?!
Question: Should I nominate my daughter for Make-A-Wish!?
I have a 3 yr old who was diagnosed with Overlap Disease!. Its a mix of Lupus, Arthritis, Scleroderma, & Myositis (inflammatory disease)!. Although she has gotten a little better, she has been through so much!. She still has a long way to go!.!.!. I just want her to have a special memory to help replace the bad ones!. Although she is in no immediate danger, it can easily become that way if it wasn't for all the meds!. The MAW site says a parent, doctor, or child life specialist has to make the nomination!. I feel a little ackward nominating her myself, but I really want this for her!. I am not even sure if she qualifies!.!.!.!. It has to be life threatening!. Her illness is chronic & CAN become life threatening!. Myositis itself is reconized by MAW!. But hers is not full blown case!. I don't want to waste anyones time if she doesn't qualify!.!.!.!.especially since they contact her doctors & all!. Any advice would help!.!.!.thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
There is really no harm in applying!. Go for it!
Yes, they do require that a condition is life-threatening!. She may be rejected because, even though she's been through a ton, there is good hope that she'll still make it through!. However, I'm not on the make-a-wish staff--I don't make these calls!. I'd say she deserves a wish!.
Yes, you could end up wasting someone's time!. However, I don't think anyone would really think of it as a waste!. What doctor is going to hate you for trying to bring more joy into your child's life!? A good doctor realizes that there is significant medical research showing that happy, positive patients tend to have a better chance of making it!.
If you're really worried about your doctrs, talk to them first!. Bring up the issue, and ask if it's okay if you refer her, or even ask your doctor to do the referral!.
She's definitely in the group that they're looking to help!. No one will resent you for this!. Go for it!. The worst case scenario, really, is that she doesn't get the wish from that one organization!.
You can still do everything you can to make her wish happen anyway!. Direct contact with an organization, a plea for a sick child for special visitation privileges, a fundraiser in your community to provide money to fulfill her wish--these can all make things happen!.
Your child deserves to have her wish fulfilled!. Refer her! If they turn you down, make it happen anyway!Www@Answer-Health@Com
