Nate I thought a word from you might be an encouragment to this person. Hope you don't mind the ping.

We are parents of a few special needs children. All but one has overcome the hurdles and are so called "normal". But I have to tell you from the bottom of my heart, no one has ever touched my heart so deep as our precious little boy with severe cerebral palsy. He is the truest joy to all of us.
Be blessed, and may your precious little one overcome the hurdles!
Sometimes Miracles Hide (song by Bruce Carroll)
They were so excited
It was coming soon to be
Two people so in love
Now soon there would be three
For many years they planned it
Now it would soon be true
She she was picking out the pink clothes
And he was looking at the blue
The call came unexpected
The doctor had bad news
Some tests came back and things weren't right
He said, "You're gonna have to chose"
"I'll wait a week for your decision"
Then the words cut like a knife
"I'm sure everyone will understand
If you want to end its life"
Though they were badly shaken
They just had no choice
They knew God creates no accidents
And they were sure they heard His voice saying
Sometimes miracles hide
God will wrap some blessings in disquise
You may have to wait a lifetime
To see the meaning with your eyes
'Cause sometimes miracles hide
It seemed before they knew it
The appointed day arrived
With eager apprehension
They could barely hold inside
The first time they laid eyes on her
confirmed the doctor's fears
But they held on to God's promises
'Cause they were sure they both could hear
Sometimes miracles hide
And God will wrap some blessings in disquise
You may have to wait this lifetime
To see the meaning with your eyes
'Cause sometimes miracles hide....
Though she was not like the other girls
They thought she was the best
And through all the years of struggle
Neither whispered one regret
On the first day that she started school
And took her first bus ride
They remembered the words that God had spoke
And they both broke down and cried
See to them it just did not matter
Why some things in life take place
They just knew the joy they felt
When they looked into her face
They learned sometimes miracles hide
They said, "God has wrapped our blessing in disguise"
We may have to wait this lifetime
To see the reason with our eyes
But we know sometimes miracles hide
We've learned sometimes miracles hide
