Have seen several post - some worried about life expectancy - some
about "don't know what the future holds."

Let me give you a little comfort. When our son was born 36 years
ago, we were told we had a vegtable and "figure out what to do with
it!" (Very sensative doctor, eh?)

At any rate that was the low point. It's all been up hill since
then. He is now a very health young man who has had a full time job
since he got out of highschool.

I will tell you that Microcephalian is usually compounded with other
disabilities. His only disability is Microcephalia - so that may be
different form your situaton. But, Microcephalia by itself is not
something to say "oh my God we're doomed." All I can say is that
I've been pretty successful over the years, and can't say my life is
any better than his.

He's a great persons and we sure enjoy sharing life with him.

One other comment for younger parents -get involved with Special
Olympics. It will add a demension to your son/daughter's life that
will help emmencely with them being able to tackle life's challenges.
The other thing - just love 'em.
