PClearner and nancy

Your both so right, its so hard to be the mom trying to do everything
to help the kids be back to normal. I can totally relate. But in a whole
different way. My son is 18 and he has epilepsy, its a lot like pcs and
its a life sentence too. And in his case its taken many things away.

As far as we can tell at this time he will never drive, he lost reading ability
and now reads at close to a 2nd grade level. He is very bright, and nows
what all he has lost. He wants to be normal, not to feel lost all the time,
not to have the memory losses he has.

He knows that he will need to live in a group home one day probably. And
that he will have to accept lots of differences. But its going to be okay,
because he is going to do whatever he has to do.

He is a very good young man, and he has learned to adapt to the changes he is having to make. Just the way your daughters are having to do.

My older two son's have watched him grow up, and now exactly what he has missed out on. My middle son, took a chance driving even though he knew
he was blacking out in his car. Just because he was afraid to tell me.
He knew it would mean no driving till we got it under control.

Bills are a pain, and in the case of pcs, its me that has been dealing with these bills. But its so hard to know when they are the wrong amounts sometimes. I just have to make sure I stay on top of things.
