I would recommend the convention especially is you have a child as young as you do. We didn't find Magic until my son was 5 year old and we had a doctor who gave us literally no information. After our first convention it raised enough questions and gave us enough factual information that we were able to make better medical decisions for our child. You will learn soooo much if you take the time to go. We were never people who got into support groups until we found this group, but believe me the support has been wonderful. Cathy Kusch has helped me through so many tough times. She even helped me find a new endo when we recently moved.
