Hello,
We found out not so long ago that our gorgeous little boy who is coming up to 11 weeks old had a stroke at birth, which has left him with brain damage and epilepsy. As any parent coming to terms with this type of news, am finding it tough aswell as the new parentness of it all.
Looking to find out as much as I can so that I can make the best decisions for my little one, for his care, trestment and us as a family and to ensure that he dosent fall through gaps in any system in terms of support as he grows.
Thanks

We have lots of members in similar circumstances here on the community, and you may be particularly interested in our parents and carers discussions.
