Hi again, Have you actually tried McDonalds? I am also diabetic. I have had it
since I was two years old. My heart goes out to you and your daughter and her
friend. I am not sure we really have EDS but my kids were diagnosed with it 2
years ago but no real answers they are just flexible. But now we are heading in
another direction. My son has an abnormality of the brain that is increasing.
Have you ever heard of that with EDS???? I know I am changing the subject for
what you had asked but I have been searching for so long for an answer I have to
ask anyone I talk to. I have heard of a Chari one malformation being EDS
related. But I have yet heard of White Matter abnormalitys being EDS related.
I also have a daughter with the same issues, but not as bad as my son. I just
thought Maybe I should ask. But seriously if you want me to ask my husband
about the grants throught McDonalds I will.! :-) I'd be happy to see her go on
to college with a full ride. talk to
you soon

have looked into everything we can. I know a
friend of her has diabetes and he got a full ride to college because of his
disability.
