Thank you! It's so hard to understand sometimes-as a caregiver. Have you found any relief for it--she wants to start decorating today and I know she will end up in tears from frustration ? maybe more than pain?! Oh...thanks so much for opening up....I feel better, afterall, misery loves company, right? Makes it all seem more normal to someone like me who is constantly in a state of confusion and worry. I would imagine hanging the lights with the cold temp will probably not help much, but at least you and your son will be doing it together!! Happy Birthday a few days early!! Donna
