I'm so sorry. I'm in tears right now. ...Oh sweetie. I'm so sorry. I'm in tears right now. I know this isn't what you expected at all, but I think you just need time to adjust to it all. We had the same shock with Avery's diagnosis--it wasn't what we expected AT ALL and were just devistated. But you will get through this. <BR/><BR/>And like you said, Joey is still the same Joey you've loved all this time. A diagnosis/label will NEVER change that. But it does give you a more specific focus and will hopefully help you give him the help he needs and the answers he'll want someday.<BR/><BR/>I also think you're lucky that he was diagnosed something that has a celebrity connection (Colin Farrell's son has Angelman Syndrome) because it just brings more awareness to the issue--and hopefully that helps with funding and research.<BR/><BR/>Everything will be ok. You've already been so strong through Joey's life; I know you'll have no trouble doing everything you can to continue helping Joey through this. He's so lucky to have a mom like you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
