A Special Note to Parents: A number of parents of children with complex medical conditions have established “parent support groups” with extremely helpful information on their web pages. We encourage you to contact these sites, if appropriate for your child. A word of caution: it is relatively easy to become discouraged when reading the story of an affected child with a medical condition similar to that of your child. We strongly believe that every child is different–unique in his/her own way. Therefore, the experiences of one family (good or bad) may be completely and totally different from yours.
