I lost both of mine when I was 31 years old, and watched them suffer from the age of 16 yrs. However, I say this not to get pity but to reassure that the child does grow up as a stronger and caring human being. I too was diagnosed with a neurological disease somewhat like PD, called Multiple System Atrophy. I was diagnosed at age 33. So I guess what I am trying to tell you is not to give up. It is extremely difficult at times I know, but you just can not give up hope. Besides there is too much to do out there in the world:)))) By the way my son also watch his grandparents slowly deteriate and now see me with my disease What does he want to be ? A doctor. He already informed on his 8 th grade graduation day that he has 15-18 more years of school. How is that for strength?
