I completely agree with you and would have my children as well. I know that God's plan is so much better than anything I pray for, that is why I pray if it is his will. I just feel like, for me, going through this has given me a greater perspective of what he went through for us and am grateful for that. This probably sounds insane but I actually praise God for this because I know there is a reason behind even though I may never know what it is. You are right there are many things worse. My oldest complains of leg pains, has extremely flat feet, and has difficulty running so I will keep a watch on him. But, it could be too much reading on my part. You are always so helpful, thank you so much. I appreciate it.

It is painful to know that he is suffering, but there are many things beyond our control and many kinds of suffering in life. I have spent a lot of time at a children's hospital with our youngest son and there are far worse things that happen to children than CMT.
I do agree with your perspective, but like all prayers, the answers are beyond our control, the reasons beyond our understanding.
