DH and I have looked at a couple of children who have life threatening or terminal illnesses, and we had a twofold reason for not pursuing more information: 1) we live in a rural area and, generally speaking, children with these types of med. issues need the type of medical care that we would have to travel 4-6 hours one way to get; and 2) we were not sure of the impact on our children already in the home. (Not to mention ourselves...I don't know if I could handle that. I know that God gives us the grace to cope with what He calls us to do, but thankfully right now I'm not in that position.)
