We have several members who are younger survivors anf who have young children. My children were teenagers when I was first diagnosed. It was a teenagers dream, their mother losing her voice for a coupke weeks. LOL! It was temporary and they quickly learned to repond to my frantic arm waving and scribbling on a dry earase board 'NOOOO!!!!'. That was almost 5 years ago and life is much different now.
Best wishes with your continued recovery.
