I am sure this is such a difficult diagnosis, but there is hope. We have a great family friend whose son was diagnosed as a toddler. He is 30 now and back then they told them to institutionalize him which they did not. He went on to graduate high school, college, grad school, is a meteorologist, lives on his own in another part of the country and even has a long-term live in girlfriend. He is an inspiration and speaks all over the world about his life!
I can't imagine what you are going through. That one sentence must have been hard to write. When you can, spill your emotions all over this page. We will be here to hold your hand through the good, the bad, and just plain ugly.
Hello there. I started blogging whilst trying to balance too much -- infertility, miscarriages, elder caregiving for a crazy (as in Alzheimer's) mother-in-law. And now that things have changed, I find myself mourning parts of my before-life.
Welcome to the After Life

I've been thinking about you since your last post...
I'm sorry.
Big challenges ahead. Hope you're coping ok.
