NAIT Gathering

So as some of you know I am in a support group online for Mothers with NAIT. The afternoon we got the news that I had NAIT, CAJ signed me up for this group in hopes of us learning as much as we could about this awful blood disorder that Finn was affected by.
Well after a year in the group and many great friends on the internet later I was invited to go to Chicago for a weekend to meet several of them. 2 of the Moms had met once but other than that we were all only "cyber" friends. I have gotten to be friends with a wonderful mom who's sons name is also Finn! He is about a year older than our Finn. So I was super excited to finally get to meet her and then I also met 5 other NAIT moms. The Moms I met are from Chicago, New York, B.C., and Louisville KY. I can never start to tell you how much joining this group has helped us. I encourage any of you that God-forbid, find yourself looking head-on at a challenge in your life to seek such a group. They have been the greatest source of info and encouragement!!!
