God Bless each and every family I read on here. My heart goes out and thoughts and prayers are sent your way. My younger sister has leukodystrohy and I understand the battle.

I have 3 children with an unknown form of Leukodystrophy i would love to talk to another mom or parent that is going through the same thing it would be nice to be able to really talk to someone who knows what i go through and knows how it feels to have the fear of losing our children, So anyone interested in talking please feel free.

There is no reason for you to apoligize you were not rambling on, the things you went through is a mother worst fear and your are very right the doctors think becasue they have the college degree that they know our kids better than we do. We know when something is wrong with our kids just by looking at them thats all we have to do. I am soo sorry for your loss and i wish that your life could of been different. I wish that the doctors would of just listened but i do hope you know that this is not your fault and you did everything that a mother could do for her son. Well have a good day and just know if you need to talk im here.
