Great Idea for a thread.

Today is my sons 24 birthday. He was still born and suffered severe brain damage to the basal ganglia.

It has been a long ride but wouldn't do anything different.

He was overstressed and is ill today but improving.

His disability is basically he is stuck developmentally as a newborn but intellectually perfect. He is a quad. and uses body language/eye movement for communication, uses a trach and 02 for breathing, and a feeding tube for nutrition and wants to live to be 100yrs old. : )

You and your son, op, are an inspiration to us all.
