Nice to see members getting into the post and introducing themselves on this post.
Hopefully more members will be along shortly to say hello.

My name is Donna and my freinds call me Dolly since school and it kind of stuck,im 24 years old and from Kent.
I have an 2 year old boy who is my only child.
He has GDD and struggling to find out why.

Hi im Donna,i have a daughter Dallas 9 yrs and she has Aicardi Syndrome which is a rare neurological disorder,which includes agenesis of corpus collosum,severe seizures and retinal luancea.

Problems which arise from this syndrome is sight problems ,though she sees fine,seizures daily and non mobile.

Dallas is our angel,she is a happy little girl who always smiles.Though she has lots of problems she is healthy and loves her food.

I have cared for Dallas for the last 8yrs while my husband has worked,though last year we decided for my husband to help me at home and give up work after she a scoliosis surgey plus we have little support from our families.

Its hard hard work but she is our baby and we will keep fighting for her no matter what.

its true, no matter what age theyre still our babies i never used to get it when my mom told me off when i was 18 and would say 'your still my baby' but now having 3 of my own i totally agree. Euan too is a food lover, albeit certain foods hehe they told us children with cystinosis didnt really eat but then they met euan who could probably eat all day bless him!
