I have fought his whole life, being profoundly deaf, ADHD and LD. Many wanted to write him off. I kept fighting with schools, doctors, and professionals. Now he is in college and I am still fighting. Have any of you experienced this? I would love to hear from you. Maybe we could help each other.

- Do you have a Twitter account? What do you tweet about?
I tweet about my fight with breast cancer and becoming a mom for the first time. I have been trying to find more people to follow me so that I can spread awareness:
