Today

Today is a very special and meaningful day for our family.
Today I know that all those hours I spent researching and trying to get answers have helped me understand my son.
Today means that I was right and that I really do know my son better than anyone.
Today was a long awaited day
Today I feel happy because, I finally get some closure
Today I can say that my son is very unique because only 1 in 300,000 people have this extremely rare genetic syndrome.
Today our geneticist confirmed what we knew all along. Nathan's molecular testing confirmed that he has Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS).
Today my son has RTS. February 16th 2009 is a day I will never ever forget.

  2. Big day. Ours was in February, too.

    It probaby feels like a wobbly stepping stone just became wide and stable enough to spend a little time on to plan...

    All the best.
