From the introduction:
"Diagnosis.
It’s a word that often doesn’t bring happy feelings.
Often,
by the time you have gotten a diagnosis for your child, you’ve already climbed
a mountain. You’ve sat by and watched your child slowly slip away, or present
strange symptoms, or not progress typically on the milestone curve. And you
felt fear—real, true fear, about what the differences might mean for your child’s
future.
For
some, the diagnosis might have come at birth—as a complete surprise. For
others, the diagnosis might take years to discover—years of doctor visits,
blood tests, specialists, and hospital stays. And for some very few, even after
all those years of hoping and praying, a diagnosis remains unknown.
Whatever
the path to your child’s diagnosis, there was a journey taken. You learned just
how much you love your child—how far you are willing to travel to get answers
so that unsettling feeling can leave your troubled soul. You kept climbing and
reaching only to get to the top and realize that the diagnosis is only the beginning.
Now real life can begin with your child, and, armed with more knowledge and
support, you trudge down the other side, having no idea what awaits you. But
you keep on walking, because that’s what mothers do.
In
the following pages, eleven incredible mothers share their children’s diagnosis
stories. Though each one is vastly different, one thing remains: a diagnosis changes everything."
