I am happy to be able to report that May 24th, 2007 is the date of the Disability Blog Carnival that I will be hosting. In keeping with my life, the theme of the carnival is "Disability and Family". I have my particular set of experiences with entering into the world of disability with Ellie. Those experiences include my own unfoldment, Ellie's unfoldment and development, how it has all weighed on my marriage, the reactions to our life circumstances by my family and friends, and on and on. All relevant, all quite impactful. I am leaving it at that.
Please interpret the theme however you like. Everyone is welcome to participate and all submissions will be considered. To learn more about the blog carnival you can go here. The Temple University site that the link takes you to is an excellent resource.
Looking forward to hearing what you have to say!

Wow. What to write?
It is interesting that you mention the weight put on your marriage. I've had a lot of weight put on mine, mainly due to different belief systems between me and hubby. I've been meaning to write about it but hubby has been sensoring my posts a lot lately (otherwise my MIL would feature a lot more on the blog then she actually does). Maybe I'll be able to sneak one past him.

Jacqui, I think the statistic that is thrown around the most is that 95% of couples that have a child with a significant disability divorse (in the US). Not sure what the stats are on the MIL's role.

Hope Moo is feeling well and your blood pressure is not too high!
