As a mom, yes we do worry about the possibility. One thing I have to tell Jim when he starts to worry if one of our boys acquires ms is this: HE IS NOT AT FAULT. It's not like we went out and picked up ms because we did too many drugs or drank too much or whatever. It's not like we could have did any genetic testing at the time to tell us their chances if one of us got sick. It will never be anyone's fault if our children get sick. I would never blame Jim if one of our boys got ms. It's a mystery.

Let's all try to remember that and pray for the best in our children. Beating ourselves up does no good in the end. We don't even know 100% sure if ms is genetic or if it's environmental or what the dang thing is. Cancer runs in my family and I would say half of them are convinced we will die from cancer. No one knows but the big guy in the sky right? Right?
