Hi Natalie,
I myself have an 18 month old son and I also call him my miracle baby after having 3 miscarriages. If I start thinking about this disease and all the future possibilities it depresses me so .... i live everyday like normal. I am lucky that I am able to work from home so I spend as much time with him as I can. I also tell myself that no one knows what happens to anyone even the healthiest "Mom" who may not be able to make it home after work. This website is my refuge if I am thinking about the "beast" and I am grateful to everyone.
Stay as healthy as you can and think positive!
Best wishes,
Helen
