Thank you, AACA Staff
Welcome,
I know this time is scary and you have a lot of questions. Though none of these parents are Dr.s and can give you medical advice, we can provide you with something they can’t. The knowledge of what you are going through. We have been there with our children or ourselves. We know the shock of getting the news and feeling like someone pulled ground out from under your feet and then took the breath out of you. We can talk you through it and give you advice on how to get through it. But most of all we can listen and understand your feelings.
