<t>Thanks I will ask about that!! You know when Andrew was born and we later found out what was really going on with him because of doctors not knowing a lot about this injury. I couldn't find a doctor in my home state and had to travel out of state just to get some answers and help for him. Now we ...

<t>I know the heart sinking feeling of going through a lawsuit. It took 5yrs. for us and we were a week till the trial and the doctor settled out of court. In the state of Louisiana they offered the max you could get which after attorney fees was not much. But leaning on God and believing in mirical...

Thanks for the reply! It would be great to get some penpals and maybe let him meet with other kids. Is there anyone in South Carolina near Columbia? It is hard being the only one or at least feel your the only one with these issues.

<t>Im sorry after pulling out paper work I stand corrected that it was a EMG my son had. Was confused for a moment. I would never want to send a new mom on that wild goose chase we have to time to waste when it comes the these little ones. But anyway I guess some feel its helpful and some dont. Im s...

<t>We also settled 4 months before court. It was 5yrs of lies after lies and then he broke when we sat in on his last deposition (not it was his 3rd story of what happen). The amount in Louisiana was sorry but we got it anyway but the best of all we have coverage for any medical bill dealing with th...
