Hi, @lisapraska. I am sorry to hear about the stressful time you and your husband are having waiting for news on your son. Waiting can be really challenging. My own son was born with a sacral dimple, and we had to wait three months to finally get an MRI done, till he was old enough. The waiting time was concerning.
I see that you've connected with our Brain and Nervous System Group, which is great. I also wanted to encourage you to take a look at the About Kids and Teens Group, moderated by @kanaazpereira, here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/childrens-and-teens-health/. Also, I thought you might be interested in looking into our Caregivers group, moderated by @IndianaScott, here:https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/.
Lisa, what kind of emotional support system outside your immediate family would you say you have at this time?
