    These mums are not poor mums...they are WARRIORS! There's no reason to feel sorry for them. They are worthy of the highest admiration for their special kind of courage!

    Thank you for this video. I have a rare autoimmune disease that has no cure. It's been a life changer, but It's important to learn all you can about your diagnosis so that you can deal with it daily and figure out how to "get on with it" as was stated in this video. Support and research is very important.
    I've never heard of some of these conditions, but I have learned so much and am happy to see these courageous people and their families. ❤ May the LORD continue to bless them! 🙌

    That poor mum begging her son for forgiveness (for giving birth to him) - it broke my heart in two.

      That honestly made me cry. Normally hard stories like this don't make me cry. I'm living with an unknown medical condition, so I know some of the trials they are going through. But for her to let her son pass because of the misery he was in and then telling him that she was sorry for giving birth to him because she felt was her fault. That got me because you can see the pain she was/is going through.

      It’s amazing how some people can be ‘in tune’ with their body and instincts.
      I work as a Cytogenetic Scientist for 15 years and have only saw 3 or 4 (from cases I analyzed). Back before the current, highly sensitive tests it was not easy to recognize depending on many factors including the size of the deletion.
      I always thought of the patient and family when I would report various results. I’m glad you were given a diagnosis for your son to have a better understanding of how to help and care for him.
      I can never understand what you have faced but I wish you the best for you and your son. Take care.

      Yes he was diagnosed about a month after birth. When he was born, something was obviously wrong, he was extremely lethargic and went directly to NICU when he was born (they induced labor 4 weeks early cuz at 36 weeks pregnant, I'd only gained 7 pounds)
      So, he was diagnosed by a geneticist by chromosome analysis at about 4 weeks old.
      He will be 28 years old this year in June.

      Yes, you're absolutely right, life is very hard indeed. There's just so much pain and so much sadness. It's often more than I can bear. In a way I'm ashamed to say that, in another way, I'm too exhausted to even be ashamed 😔

    Nat, in Thailand, is so cute and sweet.
    I think she is perfect just the way she is.
    Her parents, I suspect, must be proud of her.
    She seems quite an appealing girl.

    Zach is the cutest, love it when he peeked around the play set. I hope he was not in too much pain, he was a brave little guy, “higher Mom” on the swing set. These children are given to the most special and loving parents as its not easy to watch your kids suffer. My Daughters has keinbox, bone died in her dominant hand and had two emergency surgeries to remove them, learning to use her hand again. Louisa is very pretty,you really push yourself to achieve things you want to do, it says how strong and really in a lot of ways independent. Louisa might need someone to start her morning, but after that, your not going to stop her moving, maybe slower but stubborn enough to keep going. I am glad Mom you were determined to get the answer and you found such a caring doctor. Nat is quite the dancer and dart player, you should be proud as you are strong, kind to the bullies and teach them to be nice children. Katy I am so proud of you that you put back the dairy milk and the chips, that takes a very strong person, I know I love dairy milk, but put it back too, now I like fruit better, but even that I am careful. She is quite the dancer and swimmer, just need to do more of it. Never knew about the pain of this disease. Mom, of James, I know you feel such a loss but we as parents sometimes take on guilt, like we did something wrong, but you didnt. You saw James so unhappy after loss of Dad, but you had no help, you gave him so much love, some children would never receive, you remember that MomI. live in Canada and my nerve disease is rare, no doctors in Canada, the surgery I require to possibly lower the pain can also increase it 100%, but great doctor in Arizona, but its the cost. These young adults in this house are doing great, wish we had them everywhere, they should be proud of themselves losing all that weight, looking fabulous. Thanks to all the parents that shared theirs and their childrens journey, you will help other parents that go through this and their children.
