I'm still trying to put all this in perspective. Once I thought I had it figured out, the dx came back and totally blew that away. I thought I had come as close to acceptance as I ever had before Harrison's appointment, but it feels as though the denial is wanting to come back. I'm trying to fight it. Sometimes I win, and sometimes I lose. It's a difficult fight but probably not nearly as difficult as Harrison's lifelong fight against Autism, and I will be there with him, proud to be his "cornerman" as long as he will need me there. I have to accept that it probably will be lifelong, but I guess it's more time with my son. What more could a father want (other than his son not having to face the difficulties that Harrison will most likely face)?

Hugs to you hon. It is so hard to hear the diagnosis. It kind of sets things in stone. I am so happy for Harrison that you are in his corner!
Hi Jordan! I can relate to your feelings. Although my son\'s diagnosis isn\'t official yet as he still has to undergo some series of tests. But I believe that God is in control of everything and He\'s the only one who has the last word, not the doctor or anybody else. So, just keep on praying and trust Him, \'coz He certainly knows the future and he\'s the only One who can turn events to suit our favor. I\'ll be praying for you and particularly for your son. Remember also that special kids are given to special parents. Have nice day and God bless you and your family! Smile. =)
Jordan! You know I believe the same as Tommy Girl! God knows the future and your prayers play a BIG part in that! Just keep praying for him and God will do a work in his life that is more then the doctors every expected. MYJOY
