Hi, Keri.

I had both my children after I was dx'd, my son is now 19 and in his 2nd year of college, my daughter is 17 and a senior in High School.

My children are compassionate and caring young people who have helped me when needed. My son did the MS walk this past spring and wrote I was his hero. My daughter did a report on MS for one of her classes last year.

Both of my children can and have expained to their peers as well as adults about MS.

I have never been sorry about having MS and deciding to have children. Sometimes I think it's because of them that I have been able to live like there is nothing wrong as my focus is more about them than me.

Children can be amazing and adaptable.

It's your personal decision to have or not have children and I wish you all the best in whatever you decide.
