Hi--I've been reading posts here for about a month and have been so encouraged by the information and the sharing and caring atmosphere. My 15 year old son Mason will be having surgery 2 weeks from today. He's got Asperger Syndrome (high functioning autism) too, so we've been dealing with some heavy duty anxiety attacks. I am forced to stay really calm during these times, and I'm surprising myself with how well I'm dealing with the stress of impending surgery. This whole experience certainly does stretch us and ultimately make us stronger I think....I hope.
Also, I want to say I'm so happy to read about Lura's son Alex. I have an 8 year old son with Down Syndrome, and when Mason was told about surgery I kept thinking "what if this happens to Daron? we couldn't handle it". Now I know we can.
