Just want to share. Beth and I just found out we are going to be Grandparents. Beth is the step-mom and a great one.

I am excited. Yes, I know HD is an issue but I also know they are well educated in HD. I am the first and thank God we do not have the visual and psychological history many of you do.

Their decision to start a family came with knowledge and I will respect that. They discussed things and termination is not an option (their choice, their decision). My son has decided not to test at this point and I agree. Testing will only make him wonder and worry about every little twitch and there is nothing he can do.

I look at Will and his path and cannot help but think his devotion to physical fitness has been his best advocate in his journey. We all present so differently.

I haven't posted in a while but as I read there are so many varied symptoms it is mind boggling.

This is a happy time.

Congratulations Grandpappy...may God bless your growing family.

Thank you so much Carla. I feel close to this group and consider everyone a friend and I just wanted to share a positive moment.

Congratulations, Mikee!! We just learned that our daughter is expecting too, in May, 2014. I tested positive at age fifty, with a CAG count of 42. I'm now fifty-nine, and looking forward to being a grandma! My daughter wasn't interested in testing, or in any of the latest technology, but the late onset in our family, with lower CAG counts, will give them plenty of time to get around to a cure! It's going to be a fun summer!!

Great news! You have a great perspective on life with HD. Everything and everyone is going to be just fine!

Will

Congratulations - you love your children with all you have but there is nothing that will compare to a grandchild. It is the most awesome blessing there is.
You and your future grandchild are truly blessed!

Thank you all. It is a great feeling and I respect their decisions. Congrats to you Tellie1. All of you are inspirations as well. April 2014 isn't as far as it seems.
