My DD was 3 when I was diagnosed. It annoys me when people with M.S. think they are just as good of mothers as they would be if they were healthy. I say, that would be nice, but I think it is something we tell ourselves to cope with the guilt.
DD is active, so the video and board games in bed were a joke. Healthy kids want like nothing better than physical play. It is so sad when I sit next to a window and take pictures while my DD builds a snowman all by herself during those snow days off from school!
Husband is healthy and can play with her, but heck, he has to put in every hour of overtime he possibly can as I stopped bringing home a paycheck years ago. This disease cut our household income in half overnight!
The bigger worry I have is passing along my bad genes. She may forgive me for being a lame duck, slug of a mother, but could she ever forgive me if she got M.S.
So, yes one and done. This is not motherhood the way I ever imagined, and as a result, my daughter has been robbed. So have I, thanks to this stinkin' disease!
