Good news update

Ok, so I have been a very bad blogger. It's been since January. I was just waiting for winter to be finally over, so now I should be blogging more again. I have good news. Evan is doing good. He surprises me more and more every day. There are still challenges, but now I have more of a network of support. I joined the chromosome 18 registry and research society and I also joined the 18q- listserve. Evan was approved for help through Southeast Human Services and now has a DD (Developmental Dissabilities) case manager, who has been very helpful. I can't thank him enough for his help. I'm planning to go to the Chromosome 18 conference in July, and I might get to meet another local family in Fargo... whose child also has Chromosome 18. I was feeling so overwhelmed by everything during the fall/winter months... but my prayers have been answered and everything is all coming together. Thank you to all my family and friends who have been there and who have prayed for us during all this.
