Emerson,
I am new to the whole PANDAS thing. My almost 3 year old daughter was just diagnosed about 3 weeks ago. It has been so incredibly difficult and I am not handling it all very well. But, I wanted to say that I am grateful for stumbling upon this forum. I have read some of your posts and they have really touched my heart. I am truly impressed by your honesty and by your ability to express yourself through your writing. (Maybe it is also partly because I have a nineteen year old son and you provide a little window into the life and mind of a teenager). Anyway, I hope your week gets better! You have helped to give me a little bit of strength today. So, thanks.
