A Mother's Heart and the Will to Fight - Paperback

At age two years, five months, and six days, my son had a surgical procedure that forever rocked our world. This procedure resulted in the drastic loss of my son's developmental skills in seven days. Due to the severity of developmental loss, his physician made a referral to the children's hospital, in order to get a medical diagnosis to start treatment. It was during the grueling eight and a half hours before we were given a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (299.0). However, when my son's test results came back, I was told that he didn't fit the normal profile they see with children with Autism and that it was her professional opinion that my son suffered an allergic reaction to the anesthetic given, but it would be up to me to prove it. It was this phone call that has made me fighter on my son's behalf, helping him to regain developmental skills once lost, and giving me the courage to find the answers.
