Reiki Part 2

My youngest son had many medical diagnosis but the one that terrified me was "failure to thrive". At a year old, he only weighed twenty pounds. He couldn't sit up let alone crawl. He was fed using a feeding tube surgically placed in his tiny belly.
I desperately searched for help for him and one day I found myself in a wellness center begging the owner of the center for a magical vitamin that would help my baby.
I purchased some powders to hopefully help him build muscle and put weight on him.
As I was walking to the door to leave, a woman who worked there touched my arm and handed me her business card. Her card stated that she was a Reiki healer. She told me to call her for a session.
"Let me help you, dear." She pleaded with a kind smile.
I asked her if this Reiki could help my son.
"You are the one who needs this." She replied.
I became irritated. I didn't need help. My baby needed the help.
I thanked her and left never to return.
I was so lost back then, I didn't realize I too had the diagnosis of "failure to thrive".
