    Hi Lonnie,

    Welcome to this amazing site. I see we both live in Tamarac! I'd love to meet you sometime. Your daughters are amazing. If there is one thing I've learned from my daughter with AA is that if I cope, she copes! When I stress...she stresses. There are a handful of kids at her school with AA. Although she does not know them personally, she is very aware of them. I try to ask her how they are doing from time to time. You are right about how unpredictable AA is. Most treatments work on some of the people some of the time. The trick is find the right combo.

    I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have and share our experiences.

    Hi Lonnie - My daughter Lilah (2.5 years old) was just diagnosed last month - we live in Boca Raton - not too far from Ft Lauderdale. It would be great to meet someone else locally who is going through the same thing. What doctors are you using?

    Hi Lonnie,

    I hope all good! I'm attending a local AA support gathering this weekend in Plantation with my daughter who is now 10 years old. I thought of you. Let me know if you would like more info!
