Do You Worry About The Adult Your Healthy Child Will Become?
I’ve belonged to a support group for families of children with PH since my son was diagnosed. A concern that I have had and so many other parents have expressed is the worry of how much the PH experience with have an effect on the healthy siblings. What kind of adult will they grow up to be?
Cullen’s brother, Aidan is about to turn 21. In a recent column I interview him and asked him to share how he is doing now that he is an adult. In my opinion, he is doing very well. There are moments when it’s obvious to me that he has seen a lot of tragedy in his life but for the most part, he uses the experiences in a positive way.
My goal in writing this column is to give other parents hope that their healthy siblings won’t grow up to be damaged adults due to what they have witnessed and gone through.
