Hello@liz86 I'm really sorry to hear about your son's health problems. You should check out the categories list and maybe you can find somebody who you can talk to to help you or maybe you can find somebody who is also going through the same thing you are. There's a lot of great people on here who would love to support you

Hi @liz86 welcome to the community, there is tons of info for families of disabled children here that might be helpful.

What sort of things do you need support in?  If you can tell us a little more, we can definitely signpost you to places and people that may be of use. Which area do you live in?
