Medically fragile or physical health concerns

Welcome! This thread is a place where you can connect with others and discuss the challenges and joys of meeting the needs of a child who is medically fragile or has physical health concerns.

Parents, family members, caregivers, and friends are all encouraged to share their experiences and provide strength, hope, and friendship for each other.

Our son has numerous medical diagnosis - all negative. We were told that he would never walk or talk. He is now 19 months old, is walking, does some talking, knows sign-language and is a barrel of energy. NEVER give up hope for your child. Yes it takes a lot of work - OT, PT, Speech therapy, pool therapy, and uncountable doctor appointments. But you are the only one who knows how much joy that child brings to you every day and just how special he/she is - every child needs someone who will never give up and bring out their full potential.

Dear Boo,

What a wonderful post. Congratulations to you and your child on the improvements you've seen. It's obvious you're a great parent. Best wishes to you and your family and all the families here.
